Teaching Roman Numerals to kids

Numbers are a way for us to represent quantities or amounts. They can be used to count how many objects there are, or to measure things like weight, length, or time. The most basic numbers that we use are called “natural numbers,” which include the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.

Roman numerals are a system of numerical notation that was used in ancient Rome. Instead of using the symbols we use today (like the digits 0-9), Roman numerals use a combination of letters from the Roman alphabet. The basic symbols used in Roman numerals are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M.

To write numbers using Roman numerals, you start with the largest numeral that is less than or equal to the number you want to write, and then add or subtract other numerals to get the final value. For example, the number 12 is written as XII, which is 10 + 2. The number 15 is written as XV, which is 10 + 5.

The Roman numerals for numbers 1 to 10 are: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X

The Roman numerals for multiples of ten, up to 100 are: X, XX, XXX, XL, L, LX, LXX, LXXX, XC, C

The Roman numeral for 500 is D, and the Roman numeral for 1000 is M.

It’s important to note that Roman numerals were not zero and not have any specific symbol for zero.

Knowing Roman Numerals is not a must know for children but it is a fun and interesting way to learn and understand more about history. It could be a fun activity for kids to learn about Roman numerals and practice writing them by converting numbers we use everyday to Roman numerals.
