Importance of Reading

Reading is an important life skill that everyone needs to learn. Being a good reader helps you do better in school but the benefits of reading are not limited to better grades. Reading opens up multiple windows to the world around us; encouraging us to learn, enjoy and maybe even create something in turn. And while school may teach your child to read and write, home is the best place to encourage his love for reading. If your child is too young, you need to build his pre-reading skills by reading to him, letting him see and touch the pictures and singing songs and nursery rhymes to him.

Reading drawings - reading rules for beginners

Pencils and paper sheets are gradually becoming a thing of the past, giving way to digital technologies and specialized programs. But the principles of drawing remain the same and it is necessary to learn how to read drawings. In production and in construction organizations, the use of design documentation is widespread, which cannot be developed without drawing knowledge. To create simple and complex pipelines and electrical installations, for the assembly unit and high-rise metal structures, you still need to create projects. nine0003

Basic Rules for Reading Drawings

Any rack or fixture is first embodied on a sheet of paper or a computer screen, and only then transferred to the production shop. For a correct understanding of the task, so that the responsible employee can understand exactly where the welding seams should be applied or a hole of the required diameter should be made, one must be able to read technological documents.

In mechanical engineering, drawings can be different: there are drawings of parts, assembly drawings, diagrams, specifications, etc. Technical drawings must be made in accordance with the rules of state standards (GOST) or the Unified System for Design Documentation (ESKD). nine0003

The number of images should be minimal. In engineering graphics, a drawing is a representation of an object using projections and the exact ratio of its dimensions.

Symbols on drawings in mechanical engineering

Tolerances and fits

Why is all this necessary? This question arises not only among the worker in production. This is intended so that the factory does not waste time constantly measuring the actual dimensions of the received part, and producing compatible products without defects. nine0003

The numerical values of the upper and lower limit deviations are indicated next to the sizes in a font of a smaller size than for dimensional numbers. Tolerance is the range of deviation from the nominal size. The tolerance field is indicated by either one or two letters of the main deviation and the quality number.

Fit consists of tolerance on the outer, male surface, tolerance on the inner surface, and is determined by the amount of clearance or interference. Landings are indicated using a fraction on the right side of the size, in the numerator the designation of the maximum deviation, and in the denominator a similar designation for a compatible part. nine0003

Size designations

The size of the detail is indicated by the corresponding numbers and lines with arrows at the ends. Dimension lines are continuous and run parallel outside the part outline.

Units of measure are not indicated on the drawings, by default, everything is indicated in millimeters.

Extenders

There are times when it is more convenient to move and enlarge a part of the part outside the main contour. In fact, these are the most difficult sections of the product in question. This is usually done with intricately shaped parts to save space on the drawing. nine0003

The complex part is circled either in a circle or in an oval and signed with a Roman numeral. The remote element of this fragment is assigned the same Roman number in the denominator, and its scale is indicated in the numerator.

Designation of materials in sections

A section is an image of a figure obtained after its conditional dissection. It shows only the shape of the part, without revealing the rest of the segments that are located behind it. nine0003

Sections are rendered or superimposed. The former are displayed outside the shape of the object, the latter directly on it.

The contour of the section is filled with oblique solid lines with an inclination angle of 45 degrees. The lines must be located in the same direction on all sections for one part, taking into account the material of the product.

They can be located anywhere on the drawing, at an arbitrary angle, but in this case with the addition of the word “rotated” above the section in the inscription. nine0003

Symbols on the drawings of technological documentation

The drawings use the symbols established by state standards. These are the basics, they describe the rules for the design of signs, letters, numbers, lines, and so on.

Usually they are not explained on the drawing, with the exception of the designations in which it is necessary to indicate the number of the standard. Still, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with GOSTs for the implementation and recognition of drawings or diagrams. nine0003

This is exactly the case when just reading a drawing textbook is not enough. It is best to take specialized courses or study engineering or other professions related to manufacturing or construction.

The ability to read technological documentation is necessary for both an engineer and an ordinary turner.

In general, mechanical engineering and other industries use a number of basic designations:

nine0002 Letter , reflecting conditional values, for example, radius, thread pitch and much more.
Numeric expressing dimensions, angles, etc.
Alphanumeric , found mainly in electrical circuits.
Graphic are the basic elements of technical drawing. They display both the structure of the part, the material of the product, and its design (door or window opening, etc.). nine0003

All this is necessary for the correct presentation of the minimum information on the sheet and its subsequent correct reading.

Beginner Drawing Order

In addition to drawings, a sketch is also widely used - this is not a technical drawing. This is a sketch of an object on an arbitrary scale, for the manufacture of which drawing tools are not used, and it is not accompanied by inscriptions and sizes. Any signs on it and next to it are also not put. The quality of a sketch depends on how close it is to the drawing. nine0003

Reading a drawing is a representation on a two-dimensional flat surface based on images of the three-dimensional shape of an object and its dimensions, and containing other information.

But how to learn to read drawings correctly? Are there any simple, general principles for this?

Reading occurs in the following order:

the main inscription of the drawing is read; nine0003
the main view is determined;
species are analyzed and mentally combined into a single whole;
the dimensions of the part and its components are determined.

Example of reading part drawing

The main inscription indicates that this technical drawing shows a threaded connection, in particular, bolting. It also contains the document code and product index. The scale of the drawing is made in natural size, namely 1:1. nine0003

The main view is presented with an overlaid section of the fastened parts. The connection is shown by two projections. A bolt is presented separately, with a metric thread and a height of 120 mm and a 30 mm diameter. The nut is also shown in top view. But the dimensions of the washer according to this drawing are unclear.

Conclusion

Engineering drawings are not simple documents and it is not always possible to read them on the fly, but they can convey large amounts of information about the products you are looking for. Sometimes even experienced engineers do not hesitate to look into textbooks or state standards in order to correctly convey or understand the meaning of a technical drawing and make the necessary designation for a given part. nine0003

Using the Worksheet tool in math lessons

Kalyuk Galina Ruslanovna, mathematics teacher

Sections: Mathematics, Master class

Classes: 9, 10, 11

The realities of today are as follows, some of the children may be in quarantine due to the illness of their parents, the other part may be absent from the class at a full-time lesson on illness. The teacher needs to organize the presentation of educational material in such a way that even absent children can master the material. In such cases, I increasingly turn to such a tool as the Worksheet.

What is a "Worksheet"? Worksheet (RL) - a didactic tool for organizing independent learning activities of the student based on the results of studying the material, the stage of the thematic block or the lesson as a whole. On the other hand, RL is a pre-planned activity of students, a full-fledged educational material for working in class. The main task of the "Worksheet" is to educate the student, teach him to learn, show that the learning process can be exciting, that if the student makes some effort, he will experience the joy of the learning process, from the process of understanding and his own success.

The priority goal of the RL is the formation and control of the development of knowledge, skills and value orientations, the development of the student's creative potential in the process of educational work. RL can perform the functions of formative assessment. nine0003

For example, in a mathematics lesson, a methodological task: the formation of the ability to work with data, the use of equations, functions for a practical task. Then, next to the task, the teacher places the theoretical information that the child needs in order to successfully cope with it, samples, a self-test zone in the form of a QR code or an “inverted” correct answer.

1. The purpose of working with a sheet is not to memorize or repeat specific educational material, but to master a new way of acting. nine0003

2. Designed for independent work of students in the classroom or at home.

3. It is desirable to use the electronic version of the sheet, although, if necessary, it can also be printed on paper.

4. An interactive sheet always contains a working part, a title / signature and a short instruction for working with it.

5. The design of the sheet is designed for the transformation of the original material of the sheet, the active work of the student with it.

6. Working with sheets implies the free use of any sources of information (both paper and Internet sources). nine0003

7. Sheet templates are versatile and can be used on a wide variety of school subjects.

8. The finished sheet is easily cloned, it can be modified and supplemented.

The benefits of a "worksheet".

the development of independence and the opportunity to teach students the learning process. Not every child can and is willing to work independently. Parents can help at home, at school you can write off or sit out. The "Worksheet" is a unique tool through which every child is involved in the learning process; nine0088
the opportunity to transfer responsibility for the process and the result of education to the child. In these lessons, the role of the teacher changes. We inform the student that today he has all the tools to successfully deal with a new topic;
individual approach lies in the fact that each student has the opportunity to receive feedback not from the teacher, but from the "Worksheet", move at their own pace, and determine the purpose of their activities; nine0088
the ability to use consciously digital devices;
The teacher can make time for students who need it.

The teacher's activity is aimed at weak children, children with special needs, if there are several of them in the class, then you can create a microgroup and help the children cope with the "Worksheet".

the opportunity to identify weak areas in our work and the work of students. For example, inability to read instructions, lack of semantic reading, inability to accept learning challenges, poor motivation. nine0088

For my practice, I create RL in the liveworksheets, Wizer services. nine0167 Wizer is a convenient and interesting service that allows you to create interactive worksheets by adding various content (texts, images, videos, embeddable presentations, ThingLink interactive posters, Google maps, etc.). The use of various types of tasks: from traditional tasks with a choice of answers and an open answer to tasks for commenting on an image and filling in a table. You can print the created RL, add it to Google Drive, place a voice explanation on the task page, a link to the video, add interactive content to tasks, and set up automatic verification. And this is not a complete list of possibilities. nine0003

Worksheets can be obtained from colleagues using the library of ready-made digital resources. For example, Worksheets Wizer.

I believe that the "Worksheet" is an effective tool in the work of a teacher, which helps to solve many problems within the framework of a system-activity approach and helps children understand that learning = pleasure. Practice is the only way to improve children's math performance, and using worksheets is the best way to put knowledge into practice. nine0003
