Mathematical Applications
Enter this Unit.	Primary Level: Grades K-3 Primary Standard: Number Sense Use the unit's online maps to identify where the ceramics were created and to determine geographical relationships among cultures. Participate with classmates in developing 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) Primary 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). 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. Participate with classmates in developing 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?"
