Roman Numerals Presented by the NoteBoys
I’ve finished another NoteBoy cartoon in my theory series. I made this one simply to explain Roman numerals to students. I discovered a long time ago that some students haven’t heard of Roman numerals, so they don’t get the concept that Roman numerals are simply another way to write a number. Even high school students often don’t know what Arabic numbers are. It makes it hard to explain that inversions use a Roman numeral followed by an Arabic number. I hope this helps explain it to them in a humorous way.
I took Latin, and being kind of a history buff, I thought I’d also put in a few references to Caesar. Maybe some students will read up a little more about the history of the Roman Empire.
What a great idea! And you’re right – a lot of kids don’t know their Roman numerals. Sometimes I feel like I’m having to give a Maths lesson as well as a Music lesson!!
Thanks Susan
Thanks Chrissa. I’m glad you like it!

Love this thank you!
Wow! This is amazing! Thank you for sharing all of your fantastic work. I use so many of your materials in my individual and group lessons. Many of my parents comment on how creative I am but I am ALWAYS quick to tell them that I am good at copying YOUR materials and ideas.
Thanks again!
