Title - Roman Numeral Math
By - Telitha Lucier
Secondary Subjects - Math
Grade Level - 9-12

This lesson gives the history of Roman Numerals and it also lets students practice some math skills using Roman Numerals instead of Arabic Numerals.

Roman Numerals:

Give the students the background information and what each of the seven letters stands for in modern day times.

I	1
V	5
X	10
L	50
C	100
D	500
M	1000

I had the students complete a chart much like the one below, and then they were asked to complete the math problems (in Arabic Numerals). Though the problems are more to a high school level, they could be adapted to fit any age group.

Fill in the chart:

XX
	98
	54
XC
MMVI
XLV
	150
	7000
XXX
LM
	450
	347
	555
LVIII

Complete the following problems:

L - XV =

CL + IV =

M - DL =

C/X =

-VII/IV(-VII) =

VII + III(V) - V =

-III(VIII) =
