Third graders are introduced to the use of glyphs and relief carving by Mesoamerican cultures. They complete worksheets, view PowerPoint presentations, participate in a Webquest and create an original glyph carving in sandstone.

In this count like an Egyptian worksheet, 5th graders convert 24 Egyptian hieroglyphs into modern day numbers, then write 15 modern numbers as hieroglyphs;  the conversion code is given on each page.
