Other Activities in the Classroom
Students used Google Sketchup to design their own house. They had to figure the area of the roof and the siding; then students calculated the cost of roofing supplies and siding for their house. In addition, they figured the perimeter of the house; as well as a the perimeter of the yard. Students quickly discovered that constructing a house cost a lot money.



In January, students played math baseball by using Google Earth. Teachers made Google Tours of different baseball fields around the country. At each stop on the tour, students had to complete a math problem about baseball. The next steps for this project is to have students create their own Google Tours related to other sporting events. We are sorry to say that this will have to happen in May when all state assessments are completed.
