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.

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

Fill in the chart:

Complete the following problems:

L – XV =

CL + IV =

M – DL =

C/X =

-VII/IV(-VII) =

VII + III(V) – V =

-III(VIII) =
