New Jersey

New Jersey is my choice for the math part of the pbl blog. I chose New Jersey because my dad's family lives there. Also, my family travels there at least once a year at Christmas. Also, Italian Giovanni da Verrazano was the first European to explore the area. Another reason is because General George Washington won a key battle of the Revolutionary War at Trenton. He crossede the Delaware River from Pennsylvania and flabbergasted the Hessian soldiers that were stationed there.
