Over the weekend a Tweet from Thomas Petra jogged my memory of an awesome Google Earth useful resource that he developed years in the past. That useful resource is Real World Math. And although he stopped updating it a few years in the past, there are nonetheless many Google Earth information on it that you could obtain to make use of as the idea of actual world math issues. Real World Math has lesson plans divided into 5 classes; project-based studying, idea classes, measurement classes, exploratory classes, and area classes. The area classes reap the benefits of the Moon, Mars, and Sky views in Google Earth.
