Mathematics can be thought of as the science of patterns; when we study math we are always looking to see if there is an underlying pattern that can be used to create an equation; finding the equation is one of the basic tasks of mathematics; today we will start with looking for patterns within maps of the United States. I say maps because we will be looking at different data sets and how they are represented with a map. Click on the link labelled maps and use the tool to answer the following questions:
1. Which state has the most land area and how much area does it have?
2. Which state has the most people per square mile?
3. If you wanted to move to a state with the most open land, which one would you choose?
4. Where is the most gas used per person? Why do you think this is?
