This math unit initially focuses on teaching students how to convert Arabic numerals up to 4000 into Roman numerals and vice versa, establishing a thorough understanding of the Roman numeral system. The unit progresses from simple recognition and writing exercises to more complex conversions, gradually increasing in difficulty. After mastering the basic conversion skills, the unit introduces arithmetic operations using Roman numerals, starting with addition and then advancing to subtraction. These exercises delve into calculating sums and differences between Roman numeral pairs, thus enhancing problem-solving skills within the context of an ancient numerical system. This sequence ensures that students not only learn how to write and interpret Roman numerals but also apply them in mathematical calculations, providing a comprehensive understanding of their use and rules. The latter part of the unit revisits conversion and writing skills, reinforcing the advanced application of Roman numerals and ensuring proficiency up to the numeral 4000.
