Abstract
The diversity of our fifty states is known by most Americans; less acclaimed is the fact that the fifty states can form the background for our students to explore some important mathematics. The following progression of activities. includes such important mathematics topics as estimation, scaling, area of nonstandard shapes, algebraic thinking, and real-life situations for squaring and square roots. These activities allow the use of technology by employing such geometry software packages as The Geometer's Sketchpad (Jackiw 1995), Cabri (Texas Instruments 1997), and Geometric Supposer (Sunburst Communications 1997). For us, the activities offered an excellent integration of mathematics and social studies, one that our students enthusiastically enjoyed!
