Fun with Roman Numerals

I am teaching my grandchildren about Roman numerals and they love learning with this book!!

I got this as a supplement for homeschool math for third and fourth grade. It attempts to make light of Roman Numerals and teach them in a simplistic way. They use real life examples to teach about Roman Numerals, and it helps that the ideas aren't totally abstract.I am an Edward Miller fan. My complaint with this book is the same of this duo's book on fractions - sometimes those fun illustrations bely some content that is tough when you bite off your first chunk. There are a few pages when there is just so much information - words! Numbers! And at the same time, it's saying, "look, it's easy!" I found myself thinking, "No! It's not!"Since this is an illustrated children's book, the temptation is to read it cover to cover in a sitting, and that is what we did the first time. This turned out to be a bit much, though. It would probably work best read over the course of a few days to let the material sink in without getting overwhelming.

My son (6) loves numbers and this was the best Roman Numerals book I found for his age group on the market. Although we don't see Roman Numerals very often in our area of the country, the book has been useful for understanding a different set of math rules, and of course, is fun to a young child becasue they feel like they are learning a secret code! This book has has easy explanations with a nice chart at the end/back cover for review and fun pictures.We have been on the hunt for Roman Numerals all over town.My son has been drawing his family and friends' birthday cards with their ages in Roman Numerals!I'd definitely recommend this book if your child has an interest in math/encoding and you have been looking for an age-appropriate introduction to Roman Numerals.

Wonderful activities for upcoming second grader (Roman numerals are a part of the curriculum for 2nd grade)

This book is helping me teach my children roman numerals and so far it is working. Fun and simple way to learn!!!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants their children to understand and learn roman numerals.

Most appropriate for my grandkids ( 7 and 9)They both did the entire book!

I am an adult who never quite learned her Roman Numerals so I bought this book for myself. It's great - explains them very clearly is fun to read and would be excellent for a person of any age. I will use it to teach them to my granddaughter in the next year or two so she won't grow up with that gap in her education that I have had.

We are homeschoolers and this is what my kids we are using to learn Roman numerals.

Bought for child (9)who was learning about Roman Numerals . He wasn't remotely intetested in it! I had a look through it and it is full of interesting facts...maybe he will look another day!

Advertised as a activity book but isn't just a useless reading book

Brilliant. My son learnt this so quickly from the layout and structure of this book. Well done and thank you.

My granddaughter loves this book.

Exerllent book.... did exactly what we needed it for.... daughters matjs project.
