    Time and Space: Understanding “BCE,” “CE,” “BC” and “AD”

    Hint: BCE (Before the Common Era) = BC (Before Christ)


    CE (Common Era) = AD (Anno Domini)

    Map out the various civilizations on the timeline below by shading in one row for
    each civilization. Be careful- the civilizations below are not in chronological order.

    Mesopotamia- 3000 BCE to 439 BCE Renaissance- 1500 CE to 1600 CE


    Age of Exploration- 1400 CE to 1800 CE Rome- 625 BCE to 475 CE
    Greece- 2600 BCE to 300 BCE Middle Ages- 500 CE to 1500 CE
    Egypt- 2500 BCE to 1200 BCE China- 2200 BCE to 1279 CE

    5000 BCE 4000BCE 3000 BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 0 1000 CE
    Mesopotamia
    Age of Exploration
    Gree Greece
    Egypt
    Renaissance
    Rome
    Middle Ages
    China

    Now you’ve got to do the math. Write how many years are between the following events:

    What would happen if the United States decided to start counting years from
    How is a timeline like a number line? our declaration of independence (1776)? What year would it be now?

    Which group of people do you think started


    using abbreviations like BC and AD? Why do
    you think this?
    If a date does not have an abbreviation after it, when do we assume this date
    occurred?
