This math unit begins with introducing students to the basics of the Roman numeral system, focusing on converting Arabic numerals into Roman numerals and vice versa for values up to 1000. Students first practice identifying and writing Roman numerals for numbers commonly used within the range of 1 to 40, progressing to scenarios involving numbers up to 4000. The unit ensures students gain proficiency in recognizing the Roman numeral symbols and understanding their associated values. After establishing a foundation in numeral conversion, the unit progresses into practical applications of Roman numerals in arithmetic operations, specifically addition and subtraction within a manageable range of up to 40. This step introduces students to using Roman numerals in basic mathematical operations, enhancing their ability to perform calculations within this ancient numbering system. Throughout the sequence, the unit moves from simple identification and conversion exercises to more dynamic applications, helping students not only memorize numeral representations but also apply them in practical contexts such as arithmetic, which includes tasks requiring calculations of sums and differences using Roman numerals.
