This teacher’s pack and guide will help you explore the Mayans as part of the new 2014
Primary History Curriculum, offering suggestions, resources, projects and tasks that will
link to all aspects of the Primary Curriculum.
The pack is split into chapters or 'focus' areas, such as 'Exploring Mayan Numbers' or 'the collapse of the Mayan civilisation'. Within each focus area there are teaching suggestions and accompanying handouts, resources, images etc to help you deliver a wealth of fun, practical teaching content relating to the focus. Whilst all of the focus chapters link to History, the pack has been designed so that your teaching of the Mayans can stretch into many different subject areas. Within the 'Mayan Number' chapter you will find resources and ideas that could be used in a variety of subjects such as Maths-looking at the Base 20 system, English and Art.
The pack not only contains all of the teaching suggestions and planning ideas, but it contains accessible historical details and theory, written especially for teachers who have perhaps not taught this historical civilisation before. It extracts some of the more interesting and gripping details about the civilisation that Upper Key Stage Two students will engage with.
Whether you dip in and out of the pack, or use all of the teaching ideas and suggestions, this will save you a lot of planning time and research, as well as making your Non-European study fun and interesting.
