Product Description:
This colorful book introduces students to the seven Roman Numeral symbols and then progresses to "building" larger numbers using the seven symbols. Plenty of examples for small and large numbers are given, with step-by-step instructions for adding (and subtracting) according to the rules of Roman Numerals. Playful, colorful illustrations of armor-clad, toga-wearing, chariot-riding Romans enhance the lessons as the Romans "demonstrate" the concepts with signs, banners, and Roman Numerals painted on their shields. Also included is a hands-on practice activity that students can do by taping Roman Numeral symbols to coins, allowing them to practice the concepts of place value and adding numerals. By David A. Adler; illust by Edward Miller III. 32 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa
