What Country is This on Google Earth? EXTRA

(0)
EVEN MORE printable maps with a simple clue that students use to determine what country is outlined on the sheet. The first pack of What Country is This? was so popular, that I have made another pack Again, the clue might be a longitude or latitude, a key city, or a geographical feature. The task is simple, but the activity is challenging. Students can also use the shape of the country to help in working out the name of the country. The worksheets have an answer key at the end. There are 22 maps in all. Some sample pages shown.

Maths with Google Maps

(1)
This is a pack of worksheets with Maths problems students can do on Google Maps. The problems cover a range of activities, but my class particularly liked the activity based on Disneyland where they had to zoom in on Street View as well as use the Earth function to mathematically calculate the number of car parks in a particular structure at Disneyland, and also calculate the commercial profitability of the car park. This is a multi-skilled pack for Middle School students and those who have bought my other packs over the years (thank you all!) you will know that each sheet is well laid out, nicely presented and encourages the student to work independently on each activity. As well as the Disneyland activity, the pack includes: - designing a road trip - searching for mathematical street names in a particular location(we found more than 10 names!) - researching odd mathematical locations - measuring and comparing distance - and more 10 pages of worksheets, PLUS an answer key.
