Interactive Construction & Architecture Activities

Hands-On Math & Estimation Activities for Tomorrow’s Builders

Our Construction & Architecture Labs bring geometry, arithmetic, and measurement to life through real-world estimation tasks every student in a construction CTE program should master. From calculating wall paint quantities to estimating concrete for slabs and footings, students get hands-on with the math used on job sites every day.

Why Choose Our Activities?

Because your students deserve more than worksheets—they deserve the job site experience.

Our construction labs aren’t just about filling in blanks—they’re about solving real problems a contractor, estimator, or tradesperson would face. Every activity simulates an authentic task, so students build practical skills and math confidence at the same time.

🧱 Real-World Construction Scenarios

Students work with actual floor plans and building specs to estimate paint, concrete, and materials—just like they would on the job site.

📐 Geometry in Action

Every activity turns abstract math into hands-on tasks—using perimeter, area, volume, and scale calculations for real construction decisions.

⚙️ Auto-Graded Estimation Activities

Engaging, interactive worksheets guide students through construction estimations while providing instant feedback. The auto-grading feature ensures accurate assessment and reduces grading time for teachers.

🛠️ Blueprint-Based Decision-Making

From choosing materials to finalizing a Bill of Materials, students practice critical thinking and trade math in context-rich simulations.

Construction & Architecture - Units

In this hands-on lab, students step into the role of a professional estimator to calculate paint quantities, labor, materials, and cost for a newly constructed home. Using a floor plan and customer specs, they apply math, blueprint reading, and project planning skills to create a real-world job proposal.

What Does "Per Classroom" Mean?

When you purchase a lab per classroom, the license allows you to use the lab with a single classroom of up to 40 students.

This means:

  • The price listed is for one classroom of up to 40 students.
  • For larger classrooms or multiple classrooms, additional licenses will be required.
