How MapleMind teaches Mathematics at Work 10 — every unit, lesson, and skill
Every skill below runs as a short session: a plain-words lesson, a worked example, solving it together, then a five-question skill check that earns up to three stars. Guided Mode keeps it teaching instead of answer-handing — turning it off needs a parent's password.
Unit 1MeasurementOfficial strand · Strand M
SI and imperial measurement systems, converting between them, and solving linear and area measurement problems on the job.
The SI (metric) system at work
- Relationships among SI unitsM01 — Describe how SI units of length, area, volume, capacity, mass, and temperature relate to one another through the base-ten prefix system used on job sites.
- Converting SI to imperial unitsM01 — Convert a measurement from SI to imperial units using proportional reasoning and conversion formulas, and give an approximate imperial measure for an SI measurement.
The imperial system at work
- Relationships among imperial unitsM02 — Describe how imperial units of length, area, volume, capacity, mass, and temperature relate, and compare American and British imperial units for capacity, noting that fractions are used throughout.
- Converting imperial to SI unitsM02 — Convert a measurement from imperial to SI units using proportional reasoning and conversion formulas, giving an approximate SI measure for an imperial measurement.
Solving linear measurement problems
- Referents and estimation for lengthM03 — Choose referents and estimate linear measurements in SI and imperial units before measuring, then measure lengths, diameters, and widths with tape measures and calipers.
- Solving and verifying linear problemsM03 — Solve linear-measurement problems such as perimeter, circumference, and shipping dimensions (length + width + height), decide which operation to use, and verify that a solution is reasonable.
Area and surface area on the job
- Referents and estimation for areaM04 — Choose referents for SI and imperial area units and estimate the area of a regular, composite, or irregular 2-D shape using a square grid before calculating.
- Area of composite and irregular 2-D shapesM04 — Solve contextual problems for the area of regular, composite, and irregular 2-D shapes, including circles, by breaking composite shapes into parts and applying area formulas.
- Surface area of 3-D objectsM04 — Solve problems that involve determining the surface area of 3-D objects, including right cylinders and cones, for jobs such as sheet-metal work or coating a tank.

Unit 2GeometryOfficial strand · Strand G
Spatial puzzles and games, the Pythagorean theorem, similarity of polygons, primary trigonometric ratios, and angles formed by parallel lines and transversals — applied to trades and construction.
Spatial puzzles and games
- Strategies for spatial puzzles and gamesG01 — Analyze puzzles and games that involve spatial reasoning, choosing and verifying strategies such as guess-and-check, looking for a pattern, working backwards, or eliminating possibilities.
The Pythagorean theorem on the job
- Verifying and identifying right trianglesG02 — Verify the Pythagorean theorem with examples, identify whether a triangle is right-angled, and use the 3:4:5 ratio to check that a corner is square.
- Solving problems with the Pythagorean theoremG02 — Solve contextual problems using the Pythagorean theorem, such as finding a rafter length, a diagonal brace, or the distance across a site.
Similar polygons
- Determining similarity of polygonsG03 — Determine whether two or more convex polygons are similar by comparing corresponding angle measures and ratios of side lengths.
- Solving problems with similar polygonsG03 — Solve contextual problems that involve similarity of polygons, such as finding an unknown length from a scale drawing or a shadow.
Primary trigonometric ratios
- Generalizing the sine, cosine, and tangent ratiosG04 — Show that for a fixed acute angle, the ratios of sides in similar right triangles are constant, and generalize the tangent, sine, and cosine ratios.
- Applying trigonometry to indirect measurementG04 — Apply the primary trigonometric ratios to solve problems by indirect measurement — finding a height or distance you cannot measure directly.
Parallel lines, perpendiculars, and transversals
- Angle pairs from parallel lines and a transversalG05 — Sort lines as parallel or perpendicular and identify and name the angle pairs formed by parallel lines and a transversal — corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and vertically opposite angles.
- Solving angle problems with transversalsG05 — Determine the measures of angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal using the angle relationships, and solve a contextual problem such as a layout or road crossing.
