Step-by-step solution for: Maya, Inca and Aztecs Worksheet for kids
Let’s solve this step by step.
We are told:
- The Maya civilization is known for its pottery and sculptures.
- The Incas were skilled builders and farmers.
- The Aztecs were brave warriors and hunters.
Now, we need to match each picture with the correct civilization based on what they’re known for.
---
First picture: pottery vase
→ Who is known for pottery? → Maya
So, draw a line from “pottery vase” to MAYA
---
Second picture: farmland
→ Who were skilled farmers? → Incas (they built terraces and farmed in mountains)
So, draw a line from “farmland” to INCA
---
Third picture: warrior
→ Who were brave warriors? → Aztecs
So, draw a line from “warrior” to AZTEC
---
Fourth picture: buildings
→ Who were skilled builders? → Incas (they built Machu Picchu and stone cities)
Wait — but look at the options given in the image layout. For “buildings”, the choices shown are INCA and AZTEC.
But according to the text: “The Incas were skilled builders and farmers.” So buildings = INCA
BUT — let’s double-check the original instruction:
“Look at the picture and draw a line to the specialty of each civilization.”
And the text says:
- Maya → pottery & sculptures
- Inca → builders & farmers
- Aztec → warriors & hunters
So:
- Pottery vase → Maya ✔
- Farmland → Inca ✔
- Warrior → Aztec ✔
- Buildings → Inca ✔
Wait — but in the image layout, for “buildings”, the two options are INCA and AZTEC. Since Inca are the builders, it should be INCA.
However — looking again at the user’s image description (even though we don’t describe images), the matching lines already drawn in the image might be misleading. But our job is to solve correctly based on the text.
Actually — rereading the problem: It says “draw a line to the specialty of each civilization.” And gives four pictures with two labels each side.
Let me list them clearly as presented in the task:
1. Picture: pottery vase → Options: INCA | MAYA → Correct: MAYA
2. Picture: farmland → Options: AZTEC | INCA → Correct: INCA
3. Picture: warrior → Options: AZTEC | MAYA → Correct: AZTEC
4. Picture: buildings → Options: INCA | AZTEC → Correct: INCA
But wait — the text says “The Incas were skilled builders and farmers.” So both farmland and buildings go to Inca? That seems odd for a matching exercise — usually one-to-one.
Hold on — maybe I misread. Let me check the original text again:
> The Maya civilization is known for its pottery and sculptures.
> The Incas were skilled builders and farmers.
> The Aztecs were brave warriors and hunters.
So:
- Maya → pottery (and sculptures — not pictured)
- Inca → builders AND farmers → so BOTH farmland and buildings could be Inca?
- Aztec → warriors (and hunters — not pictured)
But in the worksheet, there are 4 pictures and 8 labels (two per row). We must pick one label per picture.
Looking at how the worksheet is structured:
Row 1: pottery vase → choose between INCA or MAYA → pick MAYA
Row 2: farmland → choose between AZTEC or INCA → pick INCA
Row 3: warrior → choose between AZTEC or MAYA → pick AZTEC
Row 4: buildings → choose between INCA or AZTEC → pick INCA
That would mean Inca gets two matches (farmland and buildings), which is fine because the text says they were skilled in both.
But perhaps the worksheet expects us to assign each picture to the best single match, even if one civ has multiple specialties.
Alternatively — maybe “buildings” is meant for Aztec? But no, the text doesn’t say Aztecs were builders — it says warriors and hunters.
Actually, historically, Aztecs also built great cities like Tenochtitlan, but according to THIS worksheet’s text, only Inca are called “skilled builders”.
So we must follow the text given, not outside knowledge.
Therefore:
- pottery vase → Maya
- farmland → Inca
- warrior → Aztec
- buildings → Inca
But now I notice — in the fourth row, the left option is INCA and right is AZTEC. So we pick INCA for buildings.
However, let’s see if there’s a trick. Maybe “buildings” refers to pyramids or temples, which all three built, but again — the text assigns “builders” specifically to Inca.
Perhaps the worksheet intends:
- Maya: pottery
- Inca: farmland (since they farmed terraces)
- Aztec: warrior
- And then buildings... maybe it's a mistake? Or perhaps "buildings" is for Aztec? No, text says Inca.
Wait — another thought: maybe “buildings” is meant to be matched with Aztec because in some curricula Aztecs are associated with temple pyramids, but again — we must use ONLY the info given.
Given text: “The Incas were skilled builders and farmers.” → So both farmland and buildings belong to Inca.
But since the worksheet has separate rows, and we have to pick one per row, we do:
Row 1: pottery vase → MAYA
Row 2: farmland → INCA
Row 3: warrior → AZTEC
Row 4: buildings → INCA
Yes, that’s consistent with the text.
But let me check if the worksheet might expect “buildings” for Aztec — no, because the text doesn’t say that.
Perhaps I should look at the answer format expected.
Since the user said “solve the problem accurately”, and provided the text, we go by text.
Final matching:
- pottery vase → Maya
- farmland → Inca
- warrior → Aztec
- buildings → Inca
But in the worksheet layout, for “buildings”, the options are INCA (left) and AZTEC (right). So we select INCA.
Similarly, for others:
- pottery vase: left=INCA, right=MAYA → pick right (MAYA)
- farmland: left=AZTEC, right=INCA → pick right (INCA)
- warrior: left=AZTEC, right=MAYA → pick left (AZTEC)
- buildings: left=INCA, right=AZTEC → pick left (INCA)
So the correct lines are:
- pottery vase —> MAYA
- farmland —> INCA
- warrior —> AZTEC
- buildings —> INCA
This is accurate based on the given text.
Final Answer:
pottery vase → MAYA
farmland → INCA
warrior → AZTEC
buildings → INCA
We are told:
- The Maya civilization is known for its pottery and sculptures.
- The Incas were skilled builders and farmers.
- The Aztecs were brave warriors and hunters.
Now, we need to match each picture with the correct civilization based on what they’re known for.

Second picture: farmland

Third picture: warrior

So, draw a line from “warrior” to AZTEC

Fourth picture: buildings
→ Who were skilled builders? → Incas (they built Machu Picchu and stone cities)

So the correct lines are:
- pottery vase —> MAYA

- warrior —> AZTEC
- buildings —> INCA
This is accurate based on the given text.
Final Answer:
pottery vase → MAYA
farmland → INCA
warrior → AZTEC
buildings → INCA
