  12. Roman Numerals

  13. Where did they come from?

  14. 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.

  15. The Basics I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 • The mnemonic 'I Value Xylophones Like Cows Do Milk' may really help you.

  16. All numerals can be written by combining these symbols that the Romans used.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. When will I ever see Roman Numerals? Hopscotch Roman 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

  21. When will I ever see Roman Numerals? • 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 Civics!
