Roman Numeral Challenge

By Kandice Kimmel, Latin & History, 5th-8th

The sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students have been working hard in preparation for the National Latin Exam. We kicked off our seventh grade Latin class with a friendly Roman numeral challenge. Roman numerals are important in Latin and history, and we still see this ancient numerical system that uses Latin letters to represent numbers today! Roman numerals often denote book chapters, are seen on clock faces, movie credits for copywrite dates, names, and in major sporting events such as the Super Bowl and Olympics.
