Assessment Task Instructions for Students
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to undertake basic measurements
and calculations to determine task and material requirements in a construction work environment.
Note:
You are required to take photos of yourself undertaking this practical task.
This evidence will be added to the Ready Skills where you teacher/ assessor will be able to mark your
assessment.
Assessment range and conditions:
This assessmentwill beconducted in simulated work environment at CIT Bruce under teacher supervision atall times
duringyour normal CIT day.If at any stage the assessor deems the assessmentto be unsafeit will bestopped. Access to
all resources,manual and standardsispermitted. All mobile phones are to be switch off duringthe assessment.You will
have access to techniques, procedures, information,resources and aids which is normally beavailableon the worksite.
Materials provided: All tools and equipment to take measurements and calculations,assessmentdocumentation
Materials you may need: PPE.
Covering the followingtopics:
 Takingmeasurements
 Perform basic calculations.
 Converting measurements
Time allowed: 2 hours
Information for students: You may have two (2) attempts for this assessment.
 If your first attempt is notsuccessful,your teacher will discuss your results with you and will arrangea second
attempt.
 If your second attempt is not successful,you will berequired to re-enrol in this unit.
Only one re-assessmentattempt will begranted for each assessmentitem.
Toolbox Talk
 The class hasspoken about, and I understand the ‘risk factors’involved in this activity
 If I observe any person working unsafely,I will notify all peoplepresent to cease work and will notcontinue until
controls areput into placeand it is safeto proceed.
 Before commencing this practical task,I agree that if I have not received induction and trainingin the correct and
safeuse of all tools required to complete this task,I will notify my trainer immediately.
 I realisewhen working in the Carpentry practical area I mustwear eye protection and safety footwear at all times.

Activity 1 –Circumference andarea of a circle volume and weight of a cylinder.
In this practical activity, you are required to perform some measurements and calculations that
involve the circumference and area of a circle, and the volume and weight of a cylinder.
To complete this activity you will need:
1. A bucket that is roughly cylindrical in shape
2. String
3. Marking pen
4. Tape measure
5. A known volume such as a milk bottle, drink bottle or measuring jug.
Step1 - Calculate the circumference of a bucket (inm)
Measurement
1. What measuring tool was used?
___________________
2. Measure the diameter of the bucket accurate to 1mm:
___________________
3. What is this diameter expressed in metres?
___________________
Calculation
1. What is the circumference of the bucket (in metres)?
___________________

Confirming calculationby measurement
Use a length of string to wrap around the circumference of the bucket, and then measure the string.
2. Was the length of string close (within 5 mm) to the calculated circumference of the bucket? *
Yes No
Step2 - Calculate the areaof the base of the bucket (inm2)
Calculation
3. What is the radius of the bucket (in mm)?
___________________
4. What is the radius of the bucket in metres?
___________________
5. Calculate the area of the base of the bucket (in m2)
___________________
Step3 - Calculate the volume of the bucket (inm3)
Measurement
1. Measure a convenient height (example 300 mm) on the bucket. What is the height you
measured?
___________________
2. What is the height of the bucket in metres?
___________________
Calculation
1. Calculate the volume of the bucket (in m3)
___________________

Confirmcalculationby measurement
Fill the bucket with water to the height you measured (using a known volume such as a 2-litre milk
container).
2. How much water did it take to reach the marked height?
___________________
3. Convert the volume in litres to cubic metres (divide litres by 1000)
___________________
4. Was the volume of the bucket you measured using water, close to the volume you calculated?
Yes No
Step4 - Calculate the weight of the bucket filledwith water
Calculation
Calculate the weight of a bucket filled with water. Use the specific weight of water = 1,000 kg/m3)
This means that 1000 kgs of water would fill 1 m3, or better stated 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram.
So, 19 litres of water = 19 kgs.
Answer: ___________________
Activity 2 –Measure the internal dimensionsof a room & Performquantity
calculations.
Your task: To measure the internal dimensions of a room you are working in to perform some
quantity calculations.
Use the appropriate piece of measuring equipment for this task.
Remember to check that all equipment is in good working order before you begin.
The measurements taken by you will be used to make the following calculations

Activity 3 –Measure volume inm3
You are required to measure the volume in m3 of a footing, slab or rectangular column and calculate
the appropriate quantity ratios for a concrete mix. You must select and use the appropriate piece of
measuring equipment for this task and complete the questions that are set out below
All equipment selected must be in good working order, and you must wear correct PPE throughout
the entire task. You must follow all safety instructions throughout the task. If at any time you are
deemed to be unsafe the assessor will stop your assessment, and this will be counted as your first
attempt. You must actively participate in the toolbox talk prior to beginning the task a be a part of the
discussions
The measurements taken by you will be used to make the following calculations:
 The length, depth, and height of the footing,
 The amount of concrete needed to complete the job allowing for 10 % wastage
The ratio of cement: sand: aggregate: to be used for this task is 1: 2: 4
You are required to take some photos of yourself undertaking this practical task. This evidence will be
added to the Ready Skills where you teacher/ assessor will be able to mark your assessment.
You can add pictures of your tools and equipment, your finalised completed calculations sheet and a
selfie in your PPE
