  1. SBAC Test Prep A few things you need to know before you take the math test.

  2. What is a Land Surveyor? • A Land Surveyor uses special tools to measure the size of a piece of land. A scaled drawing is then created with the property dimensions marked. Land Surveyor Video (1.3 minutes)

  3. Why do we need a scaled drawing of land? • Land owners pay property taxes base on how much land they own. If the land is used for farming it may be taxed at a lower rate. • Land owners need to know what will fit on the land. If you had a really large piece of land, what would you build on it?

  4. Swimming Pool with Deck • If you were to build a swimming pool on your land, what are some things you would need to consider before building? • The swimming pool deck is the concrete surrounding the swimming pool in these pictures.

  5. Soccer Field - Sod • If you were to build a soccer field, you would need to make sure the land is covered in grass in the area you would like to build. • If the land is NOT covered in grass, you would need to add strips of sod.

  6. Sod • This image shows sod being rolled onto a field. Sod is a piece of earth with grass and roots growing in it. Where have you seen sod?

  7. Question • If you were building a recreational area on some land, how would you know where to put the track, pool, garden, soccer fields, etc. so they would all fit? What steps could you take to make sure everything fit?

  8. Question • If you were planning a swimming pool competition, why would it be important to know the dimensions of the pool? Why are Olympic pools always the same size?

  9. Question • If you were planning a footrace, why would it be important to know the dimensions of the track? Why might you need to know the area of the track?
