Math is my favorite subject in school. Not only is it an very educational topic, it is a topic that has been around for many years. For example, in Ancient Rome, Roman Numerals were used. A list of Roman Numerals is shown:
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000
Later, people brought base-10 and arabic numerals to the West/ New World. This is the counting system we encounter today (unless you are taking a Roman Numerals Test).
Great post! When we studied roman numerals, we had fun with an online "Snakes and Ladders" game. Here is the link if you are interested:
