CCSS.ELALiteracy.RST.9‐10.4 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain‐specific words and phrases as they are
used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 9–10 texts and topics.
CCSS.ELALiteracy.RST.9‐10.7 Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table
or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
CCSS.ELALiteracy.RST.11‐12.9 Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent
understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible.
Brick Grooving Tool
•Used to form a clean uniform groove between masonry such as bricks and cinder blocks.
Brick Tongs
•Used to carry one or more blocks or bricks to the location where they will be mortared into place.
Brick
•Comes in a variety of sizes and colors. They are commonly used as the finish for exterior walls. Many have two large holes in the middle to enhance mortar adhesion.
Bull Float
•Used to eliminate the high and low spots or ridges left behind by the straight edge when striking off concrete.
Deck Block
•Large cinder block with a notch top. It is used to hold support beams for walls and decks.
Expansion Joint
•Placed between slabs of concrete to allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.
Mud Mixer
•Most commonly used to mix grout when laying ceramic tile or to mix small amounts of mortar.
Plastic Grout Float
•Used to apply grout between tile joints. The plastic edge will not scratch the tile surface.
Tile Cutter
• Used to score(scratch) ceramic tile similar to scoring glass. Pressing down on the handle snaps the tile into two pieces.
Tile Wet SawUsed to cut ceramic tile. Water is circulated onto the blade
to reduce friction and keep the blade cool.
Wire Twister
•Used to twist wires that hold rebar together when pouring floors, foundations and footings.
