Larger Lumber
Part of Lesson Plan: Calculating Board Feet
Activity Overview / Details
This equation we have just learned works great for small pieces of materials, but if we are to measure some larger pieces, what might we want to do to make the equation easier to use? (wait for student response then guide them to) we would want to measure the length in feet. This changes the equation a little. We then need to use this equation BF= T" x W" x L' divided by 12 instead of 144, this will ensure that our units are correct.
