Place Value Target Boards - Roman Numerals

The 'Place Value Target Boards - Roman Numerals' resource is a dynamic tool for Year 5 students to practice and enhance their understanding of Roman numerals up to 1000, as well as recognising years that are represented using this ancient number system. The objective of these exercises is to ensure that students can confidently read and interpret Roman numerals, a skill that is particularly useful when studying historical timelines and dates.

These Target Boards are designed to be versatile and engaging, suitable for starting or wrapping up a lesson, and they are particularly effective for retrieval practice. They can be displayed to the whole class or used within small groups. Students are provided with whiteboards and pens to participate. The teacher presents a target board and sets various tasks, such as identifying Roman numerals greater than a certain value or finding numerals within a specified range. To aid in this process, the corresponding Arabic numerals are listed alongside the Roman numerals, allowing students to check their work and deepen their understanding through comparison and conversion between the two numeral systems.
