FREE Ancient Egypt Mini-Unit for Kids!

One of the things I am looking forward to the most this year, is returning to our Story of the World history curriculum. I love studying ancient civilizations and one of the most fascinating to learn about is Ancient Egypt! I was tickled to find a great Ancient Egypt Mini-Unit freebie from Educents which will work perfectly when we are studying this great empire this year. Here is a peek at what is included, so you can snag it for yourself---but hurry...it's only a freebie until 8/19/2015!!

Students LOVE to learn about King Tut and Ancient Egypt! Download a FREE lesson for kids about Ancient Egypt and jump into King Tut's history! The freebie has several activities included in this pack, including reading comprehension, math review, map skills, and timeline practice, so there are a multiple ways to use them.

Hieroglyphics Math

 

Use these fun pages to practice place value and/or addition and subtraction skills! Page 12 of the King Tut Mini-Unit Freebie asks students use the symbols to determine the number. The following page goes a step further and asks students add or subtract numbers.

Fun facts about Ancient Egypt:

• The Egyptian alphabet contained more than 700 hieroglyphs!
• Egyptians believed cats were a sacred animal and having a pet cat would bring a household good luck.
