Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE Masonry Grade 7/8 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on Principles in Interpreting Simple Technical Drawings and Plans in Tile
Setting !

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the TLE Masonry G7/8 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Principles in Interpreting Simple Technical Drawings and Plans in Tile Setting !

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a
learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant

master the nature of Masonry. The scope of this module permits you to acquire
information that is applicable in actual life situations.

The module is divided into two learning competencies, namely:

 LO 1 – Analyze signs, masonry symbols and data
TLE_IAMS7/BID-0c-1
 LO 2 – Interpret technical drawings and plans
TLE_IAMS7/BID-0d-2

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. read and interpret masonry signs, symbols and data;
2. read blueprints of masonry plans, diagrams and circuits; and
3. identify necessary tools, materials and equipment according to blueprints of
masonry plans, diagrams and circuits.
