This class will pertain to math curriculum in the fields of fractions, conversion from fractions to decimals, application of measurement, reading blueprints, geometry pertaining to workforce math and other math skills needed to succeed in the trades.

(c) Qualifications. – In order to be able to teach this class, an instructor must meet the same qualifications as needed to teach current trade classes in the public schools. Students shall be eligible for this class once entering high school. This class can be taken as a personalized math credit to meet graduation requirements.
