Brief Project Description (?)help other teachers decide if this project is something they can do, please briefly indicate the equipment and materials they'd need to do this project. For example, you might need a mill, lathe, protractors and 4x2x0.25 pieces of aluminum for each student. Note that you can attach detailed material and equipment lists below.

These math worksheets for a welding project were developed as part of the Sierra College IGNITE (Infusing GeN‐ed Into Technical Education) Project. It was modeled after the West Virginia University at Parkersburg (WVUP) program and funded through a National Science Foundation ATE grant. There are eight turnkey activities and worksheets that they developed and used successfully in multiple welding classes to raise students’ math scores.
