Pg 3 Practical Notes Three important skills to master to understand History. Take notes on the following slides so that you understand skills such as reading/writing Roman Numerals, Timeline, and Centuries

I. Roman Numerals I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 XX = 20 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1,000 left right -minus + add _________ VALUE __________ examples: IX = 9 XI = 11 XVI= 16 CM= 900 XV = 25 DX= 510 I = 1 II = 2 III = 3 IV = 4 V = 5 VI = 6 VII = 7 VIII = 8 IX = 9 X = 10

II. Timelines B.C. = Before Christ A.D = anno domini (Latin meaning year of our Lord) Or BCE = Before the Common Era C.E.= common era 2014 BC2014 AD 800 BCE800 CE Like a timeline in math, negative numbers get “bigger” as they move left of and bigger as they move right, but are a mirror of one another. “Negative” on a historical timeline is represented by BC or BCE after the number and the “positive” side has AD or CE after the number BC and BCE explain the SAME time period, as does AD and CE. So what’s the difference? BC & AD represent the Christian calendar and thus are religious BCE & CE are secular or non-religious ways to refer to world events.

III. Century vs year If you lived in year 1-100CE you lived in the 1 st century. But if you were born in year 104 you are already in the 2 nd century and so on and so forth. So if you are born in 1999 you were born in the 20 th century and if born in 2000 you were born in the 21 st century.

Century vs Year Century Year So if something happened in the 17 th century, then we are talking about events in the years 1600s. If something happened in 1450 it’s the 15 th century 850 is the 9 th century. 12 th century is the 1100s
