Maths on
the shop floor
Five interactive modules, each built around a real job at a fabrication firm: a footbridge, a machine foundation, a cable run, a milling setup and a hydraulic tank. Every one ends with an exam-style question and a full mark scheme. Work through them in any order, record your mark here, and print your certificate when you are done.
The modules
Open in a new tab, then log your markSizing a Footbridge Truss
Design a Pratt truss over a canal that satisfies a buckling rule and a steel budget at the same time.
Batching a Concrete Base
Work out the mix, the cement and the cost for a foundation carrying a 40-tonne press.
Sizing a Cable Run
Choose a conductor that keeps volt drop inside the wiring regulations without breaking the budget.
Setting CNC Cutting Speeds
Set spindle speed and feed rate for a milling job, and read the inverse proportion curve behind them.
Sizing a Hydraulic Tank
Size an oil reservoir that cools the system, fits the bay and stays inside the plate budget.
Each module shows a running total out of 12 at the bottom of its page. Type that figure into the box above when you finish.
