Materials:

• Copies of computer generated reports with dimensions and tolerance listed
• Highlighters

Directions:

1. After introducing the concept of tolerance intervals in previous lesson, have students view the computer generated reports which list dimensions and tolerance typically found in manufacturing.

2. Individual students are to highlight any measurement they believe is unacceptable given the tolerance.

3. Students discuss their report findings with their elbow partner. Both students should agree on the reports and be able to justify their reasoning to the class.

Wrap-up:

As a class, we will discuss our findings for each report and the importance of having someone double check our work.
