 Realworldmath.org is a website that uses google earth to show real world Math examples. This website uses Google earth’s “3d buildings” to estimate sizes, shapes and volumes of earth’s structures. I believe this would help my students use technology to explore Math concepts more in depth. I liked how the lesson plans are already set up and are easy to follow. This site also asks for recommendations for other earth structures to evaluate. This has helped me be more aware of how to use some of the technology I have been learning in my classroom and has helped me use technology more. This lesson will help my students visualize volumes and surface area of objects that they see around them. They can further this lesson by finding their own structures they want to measure. In an inter-discipline environment, they could find out the history of the structure and write a paper on it.
