Maine Memory Network

I appreciate a site like the Maine Memory Network because I enjoy looking for things that might be related to my family tree. In high school I might not have enjoyed it as much. That is why in my future math class I would offer the assignment as an option. That way students with an interest in history would get to enjoy it while students who are yet to appreciate history are not forced through it in math class. Trying to find examples of math being used in the history of Maine might be a good assignment. Sudents may also be able to see how the geometry of buildings has changed or stayed the same over time. There are ways to use a great reasource like this in every type of class.
