Exploring Interior Design Students’ Mathematical Units Construction and Coordination: Help with the Architectural Scale
Many undergraduate interior design students are unprepared for the required mathematical complexity (e.g., measurement, scale factor, and spatial reasoning). Holistically, the exercise of design is one of six universal activities through which mathematics is traditionally developed; however, researchers found no studies specifically related to interior design students and math. A small qualitative case study, therefore, was conducted to see if the mathematical theory of units construction, and coordination could provide a framework to measure interior design students’ mathematical abilities. This framework was used both to interpret sophomore interior design students’ understanding of measurement and scale factor and to identify their level of mathematical application relative to the interior design profession. Students measured a furnished lab and drafted floor plans, and semi-structured clinical interviews evaluated the students’ stages (1–3) of units construction and coordination, ruler fluency, and scale factor reasoning. Results indicate three of the students were stage two and two of the students were stage three. Stage two students applied whole number scale factors to linear measurements but could not accurately apply scale factors involving fractional linear units or square units. In contrast, stage three fluently applied whole number and fractional linear units and square units in the context of scale factor. The authors suggest that early assessment of interior design students’ units coordination structures is one method to evaluate their mathematical ability levels so that specific interventions tailored to individual student needs can be administered. Ongoing research is expanding the number of students evaluated with the instrument; future research will evaluate potential interventions.

Next step for Bishop
Because no other county agreements were reached with all parties, we're left to believe the hallmark of the upcoming bill will be nothing more than the same tired, anti-conservation, county commission, fossil-fuel wish list we saw promoted by (and fail miserably) Bishop's predecessor, Jim Hansen.
