Informative Speech On How To Build A Playset

My dad builds playsets for a living and uses many components of the Math subject to build them. Wee Monsters which builds custom manufactured playsets builds everything from scrap as well as deliver and install all for one price! My dad has been in the building/playset business for almost 25 years. Building playsets most definitely takes some skill to do considering almost single piece of wood and material used has to be sized to the exact length,width,height, etc. I will talk to you every little thing that it takes to create these giant “toys” per say and how that takes the art of Math to achieve what needs to be done.

Right off the bat my dad has to use math to map where the playset will be on a grid. He has to correctly
My dad has to write a list and write the amount of each item he needs which requires basic addition and subtraction. Then he gets the correct pieces of wood which are different lengths, and widths which we are doing in class currently. Sizes of wood can range from 2x4,2x4,2x8 etc. All of these are different sizes and variations that will bring the masterpiece. Also once my dad knows how many boxes of screws, nails, washers, etc he needs he is calculating how many of each item he needs. Once he leaves the home depot he goes to the bulk warehouse where he’ll purchase different sizes of slides for Small,Medium, and large fort packages which varies on the
He then saws the edges off multiple pieces after measuring the part that's needed with a tape measure. He then uses the pencil like we are doing in geometry and creates a straight line in front of the piece that needs to be cut of by the hand saw. He then has to build the actual pieces that require measuring so, everything is even and the nails and sorts are in order to keep these pieces together. He then uses the “puzzle” method to repackage his complete parts into the truck for delivery and
