Roman numerals wheel of fortune game online - Did you know that Roman Numerals were invented in ancient Rome from 850-750 BC (before Christ)? This was the first number system before our current numbers were invented.
Let me tell you what each letter means and its value.
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1000
And when you want to create the number 6, you just add V (5) + I (1) = 6
If you want to say 9, since it's closer to 10 (X) you should write IX. The letter I comes before X because it is going to be subtracted to make a 9.
But if you want to make an 8, you should write VIII. The subtraction only happens when only 1 is being subtracted such as the case in IX (9) and IV (4).
This activity can be used in the classroom, during free time, or tutorial sessions. Recommended for children from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grades for a fun and exciting way to learn and memorize the roman numerals.
