Nearly every shop activity requires basic math skills – whether calculating averages for a control chart, making machine adjustments, or reading prints. Basic Shop Math teaches workers how to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers, fractions and decimals. It also shows how to perform other basic activities, such as rounding numbers and calculating averages. The focus of the program is on practical application – all examples and exercises are easily grasped and are based on operations and measurements that shop workers typically encounter on the job.
