Today I was searching around on the internet for engaging activities to teach/review area and perimeter with my 6th graders. I stumbled across this website that explains how to use Google Earth to engage students in understand area and perimeter. Google Earth has a measure feature that allows you to zoom into familiar places and measure the side of a building or piece or property. This is engaging for the students because it makes it personal by allowing them to choose the places to go. They can explore the world while doing math! Check out the video below for more information. This is a perfect example of teaching with technology!
