Google Earth Activity

• Click on the search icon and type in the GEC address
  (2500 S State St. Salt Lake City, UT 84115). 
• Zoom in to the level needed to view the district property and surrounding buildings.
• Work with groups of 2-3 to answer these questions:
• 
  

1. On the West side of the property, there is a white shape with a black rectangle in the center of it (The Helipad). What type of polygon is the helipad?
2. Look at the Wilson playground. Write a ratio for the number of tether-ball circles to the number of hopscotches painted there.
3. There is a "V" shaped parking lot on the SE side of the district buildings. About what percentage of the cars are red?
4. What season and time of day was this satellite photo most likely taken? What clues helped you decide?
5. There are some four squares (lg. and sm.) painted on the South side of Wilson. If 12 children went out and stood in individual squares, what fraction of the total number of squares would be filled with children? Can you simplify that fraction?
6. Write another math question based on the aerial view of the GEC and post it in a comment.
