setlled in Mesoamerica after migratingfrom Siberia to Alaska over a land bridge that formed in the Bering Sea morethan 11,000 years ago.It is believed they traveled along the west coast ofNorth America and eventually established villages and then larger city-statesin Mexico and Central America.The Maya established a complex civilization overthousands of years.  \nMayan civilization has been divided into 3 periods.The Preclassicperiod lasted from about 2000 B.c.to about A.D.300;the Classic period lastedfrom about A.D.300 to about A.D.900;and the Postclassic period lasted fromabout A.D.900 to about A.D.1500.Archaeologists have uncovered buildings,monuments,and artifacts that help us understand this civilization.  \nThe Maya expanded their writing system during the Classic period.Stone carvings and a few books that detail Mayan ideas and beliefs havebeen found.The Maya also devised a number system during this time.This was the foundation for their success in building and road construction,their creation of a calendar system,and their advanced astronomical andscientific calculations.  \nIn this book,we will use addition,subtraction,multiplication,anddivision to answer questions,solve problems,and learn about the ideasand accomplishments of the ancient Maya.  \ntímeline of Mayan cívilization  \n700 B.C.  \n500 B.C.  \n2000 B.C.  \nWriting is  \nSolar calendar
