This is where we live! We think that Google map could be used a lot in math class. Some ideas include learning longitude and latitude. You can use it in a geometry class to calculate distances, Pythagorean theorem, and possibly perimeters of polygons (if the route used makes a polygon). We also thought that Google map does a good job of making math more realistic. For example it is a concrete example of conversions being used in real life (one inch equals one mile etc). Also, Google map can relate to the students' lives if they use destinations/places that relate to their lives. This will get the students more engaged in the lesson.
