These Concept lessons are designed to target specific math concepts, often in real world settings and situations. You’ll solve proportions, estimate area, and calculate volume in unique locations around the world.
Chapter after chapter of any math book is filled with a multitude of concepts to learn. Having a solid foundation of conceptual knowledge is important, but it's just as important to know how to apply what you have learned and to view it in different ways. One problem with most math texts is that they don't spend enough time exploring concepts in depth because, as you know, there's always another concept on the next page. With Google Earth, you'll be able to see math concepts in a different light. They're worth exploring and understanding fully. In Google Earth you'll be able to interact with the concepts and see how they're evident in real life. These lessons are sure to be more interesting than just another page in a math text. |
