Math and Engineering Related GPS Lessons

TEACH Engineering: Resources for K-12 http://teachengineering.org

This website has some excellent lessons that clearly emphasize mathematical concepts in GPS use. When you get to the home page, use the "Curriculum Search" field in the upper right corner and type in GPS to see what they currently have. Or go directly to the GPS lessons by clicking HERE.

When I last looked, here are just a few of the lessons available:
