Construction Math Toolbox
(183 pages)

The Construction Math Toolbox combines fun, industry-required math lessons with supplemental academic and career guidance information. It was developed by the CCE with numerous state and local partners for the Transition Math Project.

The lesson plans align with grade level expectations for 8^th, 9^th, and 10^th grades as a bridge to Essential Academic Learning Requirements identified in the College Readiness Standards.  Teachers can use this toolbox to practice problem solving for the WASL, and to help older students prepare their portfolios and/or culminating projects needed for graduation.

Note: Some lessons suggest hands-on demonstration - please see suggested materials lists in each lesson for details.
