What Does That Equal?

Good evening!

I have another homework post for you guys to try out at home!  It all started with out curiosity with the concept of time.  What is a second?  What is a minute?  What is an hour?  Through group discussion, we were able to break up a bit of our afternoon using the information we know about how to read a clock.

When all of a sudden, someone mentions that their clock doesn't have numbers on it, it has LETTERS.  With that, we began exploring Roman Numerals.  Friends were struck by how these special letters can represent numbers!  Take a look at the images below to see how friends started figuring out how to decode Roman Numerals using addition.

Here is some homework for your child to work on (DUE FRIDAY).  They can try any or all of the problems listed and please help them show their work like in the example above.  Have fun!

Thank you for supporting your child to continue their learning beyond the classroom!

Love, Gaby
