ScribbleMaps - Let's you customize maps for all types of projects. Scribble Maps Pro is currently in Beta, so it is completely free. In the future we may either charge a subscription, or we will have a deluxe Pro account which will open up some key functionalities of Pro.

 __Google Earth__ - Geometric Solids.kmz  Student's complete the activity and then are tasked with finding their own building/monument to make a problem for. They must find the buildings actual dimensions by searching the web and then create the problem. For a quiz the teacher has the students solve each other's problems.

 Real World Math

 Music and Math - developed some lessons that integrates songs that he as written and recorded with academic lessons. One of them happens to be about surface area, volume and such. The lesson plan is on the link below and I can tell you after doing this with him and about 80 other educators in February - I walked out able to sing the song about surface area and volume. It was a ton of fun.  The first link will take you to all of his songs - which are downloadable and cover a range of subject areas. The second link will take you to the suface area/volume song - if you page down you can see a sample video that was created at the Discovery Pre-Con prior to PETE&C this year. I'd never been so interested in math

 __Geometry class ideas__ - apply surface area/volume to life science by finding estimates for their own surface area and volume using some simple measurements and a couple of web tools They then have to read a few articles on Movie impossibilities (50 ft women, giant ants, King Kong, etc.) and an interesting, but controversial article by Haldane on "Being the Right Size". The kids have fun making the measurements and yet still use principles of geometry in an engaging way.

 5. Every math, science, stat teacher should at least take a look at The R Project for Statistical Computing. They should also download the FREE R software.  In response to this golf project, I am very sure you can do things such as take a video of an actual golf trajectory and using R, place it in the background and trace the ball, collecting data as it travels. Though to make it reasonable, I would use a chip shop and not a drive.
