Abstract
As a student engages in the construction of a project in an industrial arts class, it is necessary for him to learn the uses of tools and materials. The extent of his learning is reflected in part by the tangible evidence of the completed project and increased skill in the mastery of tools. Just as a student must learn the uses of tools and materials, so must he learn the use of intangible tools such as mathematics, reading, writing, and speech. The mastery of these intangible tools is important for the general education of the student . Mathematics plays an essential part in the processes of the industrial arts program. Students engaged in shop work come into contact with situations involving the use of mathematics. These applications of mathematical concepts are many and varied and range from simple to complex computations.
