Final week I shared instructions for measuring perimeter and space in Google Earth. Doing that’s one in all some ways to include Google Earth into arithmetic classes. Making that video prompted me to make a listing of how to make use of Google Earth and Maps (which has comparable measuring instruments) in arithmetic classes.
This is my listing of concepts for utilizing Google Earth and Maps in arithmetic classes. The listing is in no explicit order aside from how the concepts got here into my thoughts.
- Measuring perimeter of sq., rectangular, and triangular items of land or buildings.
- Measuring and calculating space.
- Calculating land use for farming actions.
- Calculating the world of a crop circle.

Clearly, I have not crammed within the particulars of all of those concepts. I am going to try this in a future submit.
