Curriculum Standards Alignment
Designed to satisfy primary and elementary mathematics standards in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
Years 3, 4, and 5 Mathematics
- Year 3 / 4 (KS2): Read Roman numerals from 1 to 12 on an analogue clock face (supported by our Clock Numerals Guide).
- Year 4 (KS2): Read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and understand that over time, the numeral system changed to include zero and place value.
- Year 5 (KS2): Read Roman numerals to 1,000 (M) and recognise historical years written in Roman numerals (supported by Date Converter and Movie Credits).
Elementary Mathematics & Social Studies
- Number Sense & Base-10 Contrast: Contrasting Roman additive/subtractive notation with Arabic place-value systems reinforces base-10 concepts (Units, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands).
- Historical Cross-Disciplinary Units: Ancient Rome history lessons require decoding monarchies (Regnal Numbers), monument cornerstones, and modern sporting events (Super Bowl & Olympics).
- Analog Time Literacy: Reading standard classroom clock dials with Roman hours (Grade 3 Common Core Math).
