Roman numerals I to V worksheet: Answers and working

1. 2, 3, 1
Take one tablet at a time: count the I's, and remember V is 5.
As many I's as the number: I is 1, II is 2, III is 3; V is 5. Left to right: 2, 3, 1.
2. 2
Read each tablet as a number first, then compare. Don't go by how many letters there are.
Read both first: 1 and 2, so the bigger is 2. More letters is not always bigger: III has three letters but is less than V.
3. 4
Read the first tablet, then count on 1 for each tablet until you reach “?”.
I, II, III, IV, V are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: IV comes between III and V, 5 − 1 = 4. “?” is 4.

4. C
Does 2 need some I's, or a V? Count the letters on each tablet.
I is 1, II is 2, III is 3 and V is 5: that tells you which tablet shows 2.
5. False
Count the I's on the tablet and look for a V, then compare with 1.
Count the I's, and V is 5: the tablet shows 2.
6. False
Count the I's on the tablet and look for a V, then compare with 2.

7. True
Count the I's on the tablet and look for a V, then compare with 5.
Count the I's, and V is 5: the tablet shows 5.
8. A
Does 5 need some I's, or a V? Count the letters on each tablet.
I is 1, II is 2, III is 3 and V is 5: that tells you which tablet shows 5.
9. A. 4
Look for a V: an I after it adds, an I before it subtracts; with only I's, just count them.
I is 1 and V is 5; an I after the V adds and an I before it subtracts: III = 3, IV = 5 − 1 = 4, VI = 5 + 1 = 6. The tablet shows 4.
10. A
Does 1 need some I's, or a V? Count the letters on each tablet.
I is 1, II is 2, III is 3 and V is 5: that tells you which tablet shows 1.
11. True
Count the I's on the tablet and look for a V, then compare with 3.
Count the I's, and V is 5: the tablet shows 3.
12. A

I is 1, II is 2, III is 3 and V is 5: that tells you which tablet shows 3.

Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.
