Exploring America

        We all have different life experiences.  Some of us have had the opportunity to experience visiting or living in different states in America.  One of the lessons in the Everyday Mathematics series asks for students to determine the states that they have visited or lived in America.

                              Example:

        After marking all of the states, then I clicked "Create" which produced this map:
