Hello Class 4!
Well done for working so hard this week, it is nearly the weekend… one more maths task to do!
Yesterday we finished the chapter on Position and Movement. Today we are going to review our topic on Roman Numerals because it is Friday and I don’t want to start a longer maths topic until Monday. In class all the way back in the Autumn term we looked at Roman Numerals. If you can remember this, then you are welcome to go straight to the Maths No Problem pages (click the image for the link). If you can’t really remember… that’s what this blog is for so continue reading…
WORKBOOK: 4B
CHAPTER: 14
WORKSHEETS: Review 14 (pages 177 – 178)
Numbers are represented by combinations of the following symbols:
Numbers are represented by putting the symbols into various combinations in different orders. The symbols are then added together, for example, I + I + I, written as III, is 3. To write 11 we add X (10) and I (1) and write it as XI. For 22 we add X and X and I and I, so XXII.
Roman numerals are usually written in order, from largest to smallest and from left to right, but more than three identical symbols never appear in a row. Instead, a system of subtraction is used: when a smaller number appears in front of a larger one, that needs to be subtracted, so IV is 4 (5 – 1) and IX is 9 (10 – 1).
See if you can complete the review pages without looking at this grid, but if you get stuck, use the grid above for help.
Remember to ask me if you need any help!

Good luck and enjoy!

Well done for being resilient and completing it! I agree, Roman Numerals are a little tricky! There are so many rules to remember!
Good morning class 4,
I knew all my roman numerals except fifty, it slipped out of my mind though.
50=L 5=V 10=X 1=I
Well done Elisa! At least you know about the number 50 now!
I finished my pages and I did the challenges.
Great work Ajay!
