Google maps is a resource that is used for directions to various locations around the world. Google maps is frequently used on smart phones and GPS systems. I think that Google maps could also be used for math in the classroom. It would be a great way to teach students about distance. Students could calculate the distance from their home to school and then graph the results as a class to see who lives the furthest. They could also calculate the average distance traveled among their class mates.
