Roman numerals to 3999 and years worksheet: Answers and working
Part A: Working out and filling in
1. 900
Read the letters left to right, watching for a C before a D or M.
M is 1000, D is 500, C is 100; a C before D or M subtracts: 900.
2. 2000, 300, 90, 6, 2396
Ring the M's for the thousands, then the C's and D's for the hundreds, then the tens and ones.
Group by group: thousands 2000, hundreds 300, tens 90, ones 6, which make 2396.
3. 2800
Read the first two tablets to find how much more each one is, then count on to “?”.
The first is 1300 and each one is 500 more: “?” is tablet 4, so it stands for 2800.
Part B: Choose, or true or false
4. D
The hundreds are 400. Think how 400 is written with C, D and M, then find that tablet.
The hundreds are 400: 400 is CD (500 − 100), 600 is DC (500 + 100), 900 is CM (1000 − 100).
5. D
Split 1984 into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, then check each group on every tablet.
1984 = 1000 + 900 + 84: M first, then CM (900), then 84.
6. D
Split 1976 into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, then check each group on every tablet.
1976 = 1000 + 900 + 76: M first, then CM (900), then 76.
7. C
The hundreds are 900. Think how 900 is written with C, D and M, then find that tablet.
The hundreds are 900: 400 is CD (500 − 100), 600 is DC (500 + 100), 900 is CM (1000 − 100).
8. D
Split 1944 into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, then check each group on every tablet.
1944 = 1000 + 900 + 44: M first, then CM (900), then 44.
9. C
The hundreds are 400. Think how 400 is written with C, D and M, then find that tablet.
The hundreds are 400: 400 is CD (500 − 100), 600 is DC (500 + 100), 900 is CM (1000 − 100).
10. False
Read the tablet's year group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then compare with 2002.
The tablet says 2028: read it group by group, then compare with 2002.
11. False
Read the tablet's year group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then compare with 1964.
The tablet says 2005: read it group by group, then compare with 1964.
12. False
Read the tablet's year group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then compare with 2016.
The tablet says 2023: read it group by group, then compare with 2016.
Part C: Word problems
Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.
13. 16 years
Read both years group by group, then take the starting year from the finishing year.
The left says 1830 and the right 1846: 1846 − 1830 = 16 years.
14. 2039
Read the stone's year group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then add 35 years.
The stone says 2004: 2004 + 35 = 2039.
15. 728 paces
Read the stone's paces group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then subtract the 509 walked.
The stone says 1237 paces: 1237 − 509 = 728.
16. 2518 paces
Read the stone's paces group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then subtract the 188 walked.
The stone says 2706 paces: 2706 − 188 = 2518.
17. 2010
Read the stone's year group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then add 26 years.
The stone says 1984: 1984 + 26 = 2010.
18. 2028
Read the stone's year group by group (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), then add 20 years.
The stone says 2008: 2008 + 20 = 2028.
