3. Quick Notes: Calculating Time and Using Maps

4. Calculating time: Structure of time in history
Time is measured as either B.C./B.C.E. or A.D./C.E.
B.C./B.C.E  “Before Christ” or “Before the Common Era” From ~5,000 BCE to 1 BCE
Counts downward
A.D./C.E.  “Anno Domini” or “Common Era”
1 CE to 2015 CE (present)
Counts upwards to the present day

5. Calculating time: Understanding time and centuries
Time is measured as either B.C./B.C.E. or A.D./C.E.
B.C./B.C.E  “Before Christ” or “Before the Common Era” From ~5,000 BCE to 1 BCE
Counts downward
A.D./C.E.  “Anno Domini” or “Common Era”
1 CE to 2015 CE (present)
Counts upwards to the present day

6. Understanding Time & Centuries
What is a century?
A period of 100 years
What century are we in today?
21st century
Why not the 20th century? (after all 2016 begins in a 20.)
In a millenium (period of 1000 years), the years between 1 CE and 100 CE are the FIRST 100 YEARS. That occur. This means that they are the 1st century CE. The 2nd century CE would be CE.
Centuries in BCE work the same way, but count BACKWARDS from 1.
EXAMPLE: 100 BCE to 1 BCE - 1st 100 years = 1 century
So what years would be the 2nd century BCE?
. A century is a period of 100 years. Most of the time, we talk about all the years that start with 19 (1943, or 1991, or all the others) as being part of the same century. Centuries in BCE work the same way but
However, it would not be the 19th century! It is the 20th century, even though the year started with 19.
The years between 1 CE and 100 CE – the first hundred years CE – are the 1st century CE. That means that the years from 101 CE to 200 CE are the second hundred years; the 2nd century CE. But notice, that any year ending in a 0 stays with the previous century.
Centuries in BCE work like years in BCE – they count backwards from 1. Therefore, 1 BCE to 100 BCE is the first hundred years and is the 1st century BCE. 101 BC to 200 BCE is the second hundred years, so it is the 2nd century BCE
BCE

7. Using maps: Key or legend
A key or legend is an area on the map that shows us what each symbol represents.

8. Using maps: Scale
Scale is the section of the map that shows how much smaller the map is compared to the real area it represents.

9. Using maps: Compass Rose
A compass rose is a symbol on a map which indicates the directions for a map.

10. Using maps: Cardinal Directions
North
South
East
West

11. Using maps: Intermediate directions
Northeast
Southeast
Northwest
Southwest

12. Using maps: Latitude Lines
These lines circle the globe running east to west

13. Using maps: Longitude Lines or meridians
Circle the globe running North to South

14. Equator- latitude Prime Meridian - longitude

15. Using maps: Practice
Using the map on the reading provided, answer the questions listed under “Map Practice” in your notes.
You will have 10 minutes to complete this.

16. Map Activities:
Using your own knowledge plus textbooks or the Internet, complete the 2-sided world map.
Side 1: Continents, Oceans, Directions
Side 2: World Regions (from AP World)
When you are finished with that, you can begin the “Working with Maps” worksheet.
