I don't teach math, but I do work with math teachers who have ELLs. This site is amazing! I sent your link out to our AP to forward to the math and science departments.<br />

This sounds great and I plan to check it out and use it soon..... I like the Search and Rescue Project! Can anyone tell me if this is a good one to start with? or is there a recommended starting project for 7th and 8th graders?? Thank you for any suggestions!

This looks GREAT. My 5-6yo math club is currently crazy about maps, map making, treasure hunting and the like. I was contemplating Google Earth for them, and here you are!<br />
<br />
I would like to invite you to join the Math 2.0 interest group that tries to address the problem of the huge math lag in social media. We meet weekly on Wednesdays: <a href="http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/events" target="_blank">http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/events</a><br />

Maybe we can make Google Earth a discussion topic…

Thanks Jill. The last time I did that project, we ended it with a field trip to the Coast Guard Station. We were surprised how close we were to the "real thing". We had a tour of their command center and they showed us the technology they use with their searches. There is an actual equation they use in their searches so that really matched well with the math. We got to go on all their search vessels also.<br />
<br />
I'm sure there are similar methods to searches on land also. Perhaps the local fire…

Being a student myself who wants to be a teacher, I find this really useful. I think that it is really creative to make the math useful but to also use NETS at the same time. I always enjoyed math but there were always students in my classes that struggled with math and I think that this is a great way to make math useful and to make the children not only be able to use math but to be able to use what they learned in real ways.

This sounds like a great idea. It does answer the age old question what will I need to know this for. This will put math and science in a new light for students. It is a nice change from the normal lecture and book work. Just seeing what they are computing instead of just seeing words and numbers will help them get interested in what they are learning about. This could also help students who have a strong interest in math and science think of a career field that they might want.
