Key
questions/
focus
What is a roman numeral. Where do we see them?
Estalish it was a way of counting that was replaced
with digits and 0 to give place value. Show 7 letters
used for Roman Numerals. Can the children decide
what they represent? Using talk partners children
discuss and record what they think they represent.
Show and establish true meaning.
Record in books.
Explain how system works using power point. i.e.
numers are added across in order of size eg. XII = 10
plus 1 plus 1 = 12. Any numbers that are smaller
than letter before it are subtracted i.e. IX is 10 – 1 =
9.
Show children some Roman numerals and ask them
to write in books and decide what they are.
Write
calculation on
board in roman
numerals.
