Primary 4 and Primary 4/5 took part in Maths to complete our STEM Week. Our Maths focus today was to investigate and share understanding of the roman numeral number system used in history.
We discussed that Roman Numerals are found all around us on: clocks, watches, sun dials, film dates, book chapters and numbering, as bullet points and as the titles of Kings, Queens or Popes.
It was interesting to explore how Roman Numerals use 7 different letters to indicate numbers. We made links with larger numbers being made by combining the letters in different ways. We used the letters to match to our number system and then wrote the symbols for a set of our numbers.
Well done boys and girls!
The pictures are brilliant, looks like the classes had a great time. Great to see STEM being taught in such a fun way!
