Mathematical Applications
Enter this Unit.	Intermediate Level: Grades 4-5 Intermediate Standard: Shape, Space, and Measurement Use appropriate terminology to explain why a ceramic object is three-dimensional (i.e., occupies space; has height, width, and depth). Sketch a two-dimensional view of a ceramic in the unit. Identify and sketch symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns observed in the unit's ceramics. Identify and sketch organic and geometric shapes observed in the unit's ceramics. Develop a chart that classifies the unit's vessels by their primary geometric form: sphere (Seed Jar, Teapot, Vase), cylinder (Hydria, Jar with Cover), cone (Storage Jar). Compare the sizes of the unit's ceramics to each other or to a basketball via the online activity "How Big Is It?" Use the unit's online maps to identify where the ceramics were created and to determine geographical relationships among cultures. Intermediate Standard: Chance and Data Handling Develop one or more of the following: A timeline that shows the chronological order in which the unit's ceramics were created A chart that classifies the unit's ceramics by function (e.g., tomb burial, decorative only, decorative and useful) A chart that classifies the unit's ceramics by construction technique (e.g., coil, mold, wheel, slab, combination of techniques) A chart that classifies the unit's ceramics by surface treatment: glazed, unglazed, painted, combination of treatments A chart that classifies the unit's ceramics by art form: vessel or sculpture A chart that classifies the unit's vessels by their primary geometric form: sphere (Seed Jar, Teapot, Vase), cylinder (Hydria, Jar with Cover), cone (Storage Jar)
