Reading the Measuring Tape Continued
If you did not finish the drawing assignment yesterday, complete today before you begin the next assignment. Also, check that I have not emailed you about a missing assignment - zeros will start going into the gradebook tomorrow. Use today to fix any issues you may have on your assignments before this happens. After Friday, any work turned in late will not be worth full credit per the syllabus.
Watch the following videos for more information on reading the tape measure ---we will be going over this until everyone can pass their performance test proving they can read a tape measure. Some of the videos are a bit long, but the information is important for you to complete the hands on. Tips: Vertical measurements means taking the measurement up and down, also called height. Horizontal measurements are measurements left and right, also called length. These are terms you need to be familiar with.
DO NOT EVER PULL THE TAPE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TAPE MEASURE!!!!Once it's completely pulled out, it will not work anymore. DO NOT LET THE TAPE MEASURE SLAM BACK INTO ITS CASE WHEN YOU UNLOCK THE TAPE. This can damage your finger or the tape measure.
After you watch the videos, you will begin to measure items in the classroom. You will need to record the item label, as well as the measurements, on a piece of paper to turn in. It will be graded. You will need to measure the width, length and height of the item.

Upon Completion of Test
In order to work for ANY (honestly, ANY) trade, you MUST MUST MUST be able to read a tape measure. As we begin introducing you to the Pipefitting/Plumbing or HVAC trade, you will need to learn how to properly use a tape measure. Watch the following videos in the order that they appear. The first video explains fractions. Fractions are what make up the standard ruler/measuring tape that we use in the USA. You will need to have a basic understanding of fractions in order to read the measuring tape.
Once you have completed the videos, draw out measuring tapes up to 5 inches of the following increments (increments means how many ticks are between an inch): 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32. A tick is the black line that represents the fraction between the inch numbers. For example: If you were drawing a 1/16 measuring tape, you would have a total of 15 ticks between 0 and 1 inch. The 1 inch mark is the same as saying 16/16, which equals 1.Each tick represents a fraction that you must correctly identify.
Once you draw out a 1/16 measuring tape up to 5 inches, do the same for 1/8 and 1/32. Why is this important? Because these are the most commonly used increments in the field (trade term for working on jobsites or service work). We will go over the measuring tape many times in class and you will have to prove that you can read a tape measure on a performance test.
