Jo, I've taught elementary school for almost forty years. When I taught First graders, basic Roman numerals were introduced to the students. I've taught Second graders for the last twenty years. Roman numerals, including rules governing how to decipher and write them, are being taught. The students learn the numerals up to one thousand. Also, First graders are taught cursive penmanship. In Second grade, by the end of the first quarter, everything written by by me and everything written by the students, is written in cursive. The students enjoy learning cursive and are pleased with the work being produced. Yes, the school is a private, parochial school.

Player #16118557, Public schools don't teach much of anything anymore. High school graduates go onto college/university practically illiterate because they're "passed" due to the education act that took
the place of "no child left behind." BOTH are horrible!!

Math would have been nearly impossible with Roman numerals. How could you even add?

flr, So you don't realise just how old they are! Before you can work it out its off the screen.

Smokey Rules, adding would pretty simple - just carry the I instead of the 1 lol. I’d be interested in how they did long division.

I learned roman numerals at school. But why O why, do so many movies publish the year made in roman numerals? And tv shows too.

vuvuuu
meldawg, yet some are todays teachers in private ,prominent institutions

Gary, the point to CVIIXX (as one of the incorrect answers) is to make someone think that it also equals 113 - by thinking that XX minus VII is an acceptable format for 113. A clever 'wrong answer' considering CM = 900 or XC = 90, etc.

MammaPet0716, he did post the message (MMXX) in 2020.

Jo, And what a shame that is! American public schools have been circling the toilet for a long time. It's unfortunate.

MoodyChef92025, actually they do.Most Year 5's learn them

Smokey Rules
Gary, very clever of you to notice. I’m impressed😃

Player #12058083
MoodyChef92025, they do teach Roman numerals in primary schools in year 4 upwards

Player #5100533
Jo, I Wish I had thought of that...

Player #5100533
MoodyChef92025, They don't teach cursive writing anymore either. We're going to have a generation of people that don't know how to sign their own Name.

Gary
1st answer should be written CXXVII...127.

Gary
1st answer is wrong way for it to be written 2nd answer is 103 3rd answer is 130 and 4th answer is C=100 X=10 and III=3...113.
