In this article we reflect on the use of remote sensing as a teaching strategy in mathematics classes, more specifically geometry. We devised and implemented several activities centered on remote sensing, using Google Earth tools. The fieldwork was conducted with a ninth grade class from a private school in Rio de Janeiro, and their sense of space was the outcome analyzed. The results shed light on aspects of learning acquired from the conjoined study of four topics: the distance between two points, time and distance, and geographical representation and comparison. The type of activity was important for the students to conjoin these subjects and make discoveries. The leaning dynamics was favorable to the creation of an environment that encouraged children to learn.
