Pg 3Practical 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 BC 2014 AD800 BCE 800 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 1st century. But if you were born in year 104 you are already in the 2nd century and so on and so forth.

• So if you are born in 1999 you were born in the 20th century and if born in 2000 you were born in the 21st century.

Century vs Year

Century Year

+1

- 1

So if something happened in the 17th century, then we are talking about events in the years 1600s.

If something happened in 1450 it’s the 15th century

850 is the 9th century. 12th century is the 1100s
