Applying math
Math has been integrated throughout The Architecture Handbook because it is an important tool for understanding the built environment. Each chapter includes a series of 10–15 math problems directly related to the chapter content. In addition, many of the Short Activities and Long Activities utilize math skills.

For mathematics teachers
Contextual mathematics provides teachers with the opportunity to integrate architecture into their coursework, helping students who struggle to make connections to real-world applications.

For career and technical education (CTE) teachers
CTE courses, such as architectural drafting, strive to integrate mathematics into the curriculum. The problems included in the book are intended for use by non-math teachers to reinforce math concepts that may be familiar to early high school students.

In addition, the CD-ROM includes a complete set of construction drawings for the F10 House. The block plan, site plan, floor plans, elevations, and section drawings offer opportunities for students to do a number of projects related to scale, area, perimeter, volume, amounts of materials, and conversion between inches and feet/inches.
