    Roman numerals originated with the ancient Etruscans and were used by the ancient Romans, with the symbol for I representing a single tally mark. Roman numerals use combinations of the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, and M to represent numbers, with I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, and M=1000. Roman numerals are written by adding and subtracting values, so 4 is written as IV (1 less than 5) and 90 is written as XC (100 less 10). The document provides examples of writing numbers up to 2010 in Roman numerals.

    Roman Numerals

    A Brief History of Roman Numerals

     Roman numerals originated in ancient Rome.


    This ancient counting system is believed to have
    started with the ancient Etruscans.
     The symbol for one in the roman numeral
    system probably represented a single tally mark
    which people would notch into wood or dirt to
    keep track of items or events they were
    counting. It would also be easy to write on a
    wax tablet.
    How to convert Arabic numbers to
    Roman Numerals

     Roman numerals are written as combinations of


    seven letters.

    I=1 V=5 X = 10 L = 50
    C = 100 D =500 M = 1000
     The letters can be written as capital (XVI) or

    lower-case letters (xvi).


     
    As a general guide
     Roman Numerals are made up by adding
    or subtracting numbers like this:-
     11=10+1 = XI 9 = 10 – 1 = IX
     40 = 50 –10 = XL
     If you want to say 1,100 in Roman
    Numerals, you would say M for 1000 and
    then put a C after it for 100; 1,100 = MC
     900 =1000 – 100 so
    the C comes before M = CM
     Some more examples:
     VIII = 5+3 = 8
     XIX = 10+ 9 = 19
     (Remember 9 is always = IX (1 less than 10)
     XL = 50-10 = 40
     XC = 100-10 = 90
     Try these on whiteboards:
    7= 12 = 15 = 20 =
    Check your answers.

    7 = VII
    12 = XII
    15 = XV
    20 = XX
    Can you convert these numbers to
    Roman Numerals?

     Work in pairs, answer in the back of


    books –
     17 = 22 = 26 = 29 = 30 =

     32 = 35 = 50 = so 40 =

     44 = 49 = 58 = 60 =
    Were you correct?

     17=XVII 22=XXII 26=XXVI 29=XXIX

     30=XXX 32=XXXII 35=XXXV

     50=L so 40=XL

     44=XLIV 49=XLIX 58=LVIII 60=LX


    Try these.
     70 = 80 = 83 = 88 =

     89 = 100 = so 90 =

     120 = 150 = 200 =

     300 = 500 = so 400 =


    How well did you do?
     70 = LXX 80 = LXXX 83 =LXXXIII
     88 = LXXXV111 89 =LXXXIX
     100 = C so 90 =XC

     120 =CXX 150 =CL 200 = CC

     300 = CCC 500 = D so 400 = CD


    Some more large numbers to try.

     600 = 700 = 800 =

     1000 = so 900 =

     1600 = 1700 = 1900 =

     2000 =
    Check your answers.
     600 = DC 700 = DCC 800 = DCCC

     1000 = M so 900 = CM

     1600 =MDC 1700 =MDCC

     1900 = MCM 2000 =MM


    Last one.
     Can you convert 2010?
     MMX

    Now try to write today’s date.


    Day / Month / Year

     Well done. You are a Roman Numeral
