ROMAN NUMERALS
Where did they come from?
Background Info Arabic Numerals are the numbers that we
use today. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
Roman Numerals are used today, but not in everyday writing. I, V, X, L, C, D, M
Roman Numerals does not have a symbol for zero.
The BasicsI = 1V = 5X = 10L = 50
C = 100D = 500
M = 1000
The mnemonic 'I Value Xylophones Like Cows Do Milk' may really help you.
All numerals can be written by
combining these symbols that the
Romans used.
Adding Roman Numerals In order to represent larger numbers the
Romans simply 'added' the symbols together. e.g. LXXXIII = 50 + 10 + 10 +10 + 1 + 1 + 1 =
83
Hints: When writing roman numerals never use
more than 3 of any symbol. When you have numerals on the right hand
side of bigger ones, ADD.
Subtracting Roman Numerals
To represent some numbers you need to subtract the value of the smaller number from the larger. e.g. XL = 50 - 10 = 40
Hint: When smaller numerals are on the left
of larger ones, subtract.
When will I ever see Roman Numerals?HopscotchRoman soldiers were
required to play the game as a training drill.
They had to 'play' in 'full kit' i.e. with their full
armor, spear, sword, shield & helmet.
Clocks
When will I ever see Roman Numerals?
Sports Games
Movies
Last, but certainly not least….
The United States Constitution is written using Roman Numerals.
E.g. Article I deals with Legislative Powers Article II deals with Executive Powers
