Throughout these chapters, pupils learn how the use of Roman numerals pervades our cultural heritage.
Pupils will come across Roman numerals in a variety of contexts as part of their everyday lives, such as on clock faces and on historic buildings. As such, this topic lends itself nicely to cross-curricular work in history or geography. Alternatively, it could be taught alongside time-telling or number and place value.

In this chapter, pupils tell and write the time on a clock using Roman numerals from I to XII.
Pupils that are secure with the way that the numbers are arranged on a standard clock face can start to deduce corresponding Roman numerals and derive some of the rules of the Roman number system. They apply these rules when working with larger numbers in later chapters.
In this chapter, pupils read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C).
Pupils extend their reading of Roman numerals up to 100 (C) from 12 (XII). Outside of mathematics lessons, and maybe even the classroom, pupils encounter Roman numerals in their original historical context. In doing so, they understand that there are different ways to write whole numbers and that the important concepts of zero and place value have been introduced over a period of time.
In this chapter, pupils read Roman numerals to 1,000 (I to M).
Pupils extend their reading of Roman numerals up to 1,000 (M) from 100 (C). As in the previous chapter, they encounter Roman numerals in their original historical context and start to identify and recognise specific years.
