Smart Skies

Target Audience: Middle School and High School (especially those learning Pre-Algebra and Algebra)

Smart Skies is a site, developed by NASA, that contains air flight controller simulations where students get the opportunity to function as a controller by guiding airliners into LAX, while keeping a prescribed safety zone around each.  Within Smart Skies, there are two modules: LineUp with Math and FlyBy Math.
