Mathematical Applications
Enter this Unit.	Middle Level: Grades 6-8 Middle-Level Standard: Shape, Space, and Measurement Use the 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 object included 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). Discuss why these geometric forms were used. Compare the sizes of the unit's ceramics to each other or to a basketball via the online activity "How Big Is It?"
