Roman numerals to XII and clock faces worksheet: Answers and working
Part A: Working out and filling in
1. 2
Read the first tablet, then add 1 for each tablet as you count along to “?”.
The first tablet is 1 and each one after is 1 more: “?” is tablet 2, so it stands for 2.
2. 0, 1, 2, 7
Count each kind of letter: the X's, the V's and the I's, and notice whether each I is before or after.
Count each letter, then add left to right; an I before V or X subtracts: 7.
3. 7
Find the V or X first, then see whether each I is after it (add) or before it (subtract).
Find the V or X; an I after it adds, an I before it subtracts: the tablet shows 7.
Part B: Choose, or true or false
4. A
Work out which letters “six” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“six” is 6: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
5. B
Work out which letters “eight” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“eight” is 8: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
6. B
Work out which letters “three” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“three” is 3: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
7. D
Work out which letters “five” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“five” is 5: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
8. A
Work out which letters “four” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“four” is 4: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
9. A
Start at XII at the top and count clockwise to “?”: which place is it?
A Roman clock's places are an ordinary clock's: counting clockwise from XII at the top, “?” is in place 12, so it is 12.
10. True
Read each tablet as a number, then compare. Don't go by how many letters there are.
Read both first: the left is 5 and the right is 3. Don't go by how many letters: VIII has four letters but is less than IX.
11. A
Work out which letters “nine” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“nine” is 9: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
12. A
Work out which letters “seven” needs: an X? a V? Then see which side the I's go.
“seven” is 7: find the V or X, then see if each I is before it (subtract) or after it (add).
Part C: Word problems
Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.
13. 11 o'clock
Read the numeral the hour hand points to, then count back 1 numerals round the clock.
The hour hand points to the numeral for 12, so it is 12 o'clock; go back 1 numerals: 11 o'clock.
14. 6 chapters
Read the chapter in the picture first, then work out how many of the 12 are still to come.
The picture shows chapter 6: 12 − 6 = 6 chapters.
15. 2 lockers
Read both tablets as numbers first. The lockers between them don't include their own two.
Chi-keung's is number 8 and Ming's is 11: the numbers between them are 11 − 8 − 1 = 2.
16. 1 chapter
Read the chapter in the picture first, then work out how many of the 12 are still to come.
The picture shows chapter 11: 12 − 11 = 1 chapters.
17. 2 lockers
Read both tablets as numbers first. The lockers between them don't include their own two.
Ka-yan's is number 9 and Ming's is 12: the numbers between them are 12 − 9 − 1 = 2.
18. 2 o'clock
Read the numeral the hour hand points to, then count back 3 numerals round the clock.
The hour hand points to the numeral for 5, so it is 5 o'clock; go back 3 numerals: 2 o'clock.
