Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1 Display roman numeral charts (1-100) arranged in sequential order and lead learners to identify the numerals. Learners identify the main characters of the roman numerals used to build the table up to 30 i.e. I, II, III, IV, V, X, L and C Call out a numeral and have learners point at it from the chart
E.g. 2 Have learners match the Roman numerals to the Hindu-Arabic numerals for instance I = 1; V= 5: IX= 9, XV= 15, XXX = 30, XL = 40, LVI = 56, XCIX = 99. Mention some numerals randomly and have learners point at it on the chart.
