A one-page Roman numerals check for Year 4, with the answers on page 2. Part 1 asks pupils to write 9, 14, 40, 63 and 90 as numerals. Part 2 gives XXVII, XLV, LXXX, XCIV and XIX to convert into numbers. Part 3 shows an analogue clock with Roman numerals set to quarter past 4 and asks pupils to correct Sam's IIII for 4. The key lists every answer. It checks the England National Curriculum objective to read Roman numerals to 100.
Number - number and place value
“read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of zero and place value”
Parts 1 and 2 ask pupils to write and read ten numerals up to XC, including IX, XIV, XL, XCIV and XIX.
Measurement
“tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks”
Question 3 asks pupils to read a Roman numeral clock. This is a Year 3 objective that Year 4 pupils revisit.
Five numbers in boxes: 9, 14, 40, 63 and 90.
Five numerals, XXVII, XLV, LXXX, XCIV and XIX, to write as numbers.
A Roman numeral clock showing quarter past 4, with two dotted lines for the time.
Sam writes 4 as IIII. Pupils write the correct numeral.
All answers, with a short reason why 4 is IV.
End of unit
Set it after the other Roman numeral sheets. The ten answers in Parts 1 and 2 give a quick score to record.
Gap finder
Pupils who write VIIII for 9 or XIIII for 14 need the subtracting rule again. Sort them into a small group.
Self-marking
Show the key on the board and let pupils mark their own page. Question 4 gives a short rule to talk about as a class.
