Mathematical Applications
Enter this Unit.	Primary Level: Grades K-3 Primary Standard: Number Sense Discuss specific visual images that reflect the importance of water to early settlers in America, and also consider other natural resources that might attract settlers to a locale. Individually or in small groups, create a map of an ideal settlement location, including a key showing symbols for features such as mountains, rivers, and forests. (See Extension Activities, "The American Land: Westward Ho!") Based on a visual chart of the uses that American Indians made of the buffalo, create a written chart that organizes the same information by functional type (e.g., food, clothing, shelter). (See Extension Activities, "The American People: Native Americans.") Use an illustrated timeline to discover the chronology of when artworks were created in relation to each other and to historical events. (See Timeline and Extension Activities, "The History of America: Timeline.") Learn the purpose of an accession number, and order a sampling of the unit's images according to their accession numbers. (See Extension Activities, "The Arts in America: Accessing a Collection.") Primary Standard: Shape, Space, and Measurement Determine whether an artwork is two- or three-dimensional and how a two-dimensional surface can create the illusion of space. Identify patterns and geometric shapes as elements of artworks.
