This past Sunday was Super Bowl XLIX. I have seen news
articles wondering if anyone knows what these Roman numerals mean. Do students
even know what any of them mean? I know in our state they aren’t taught any
more but I remember learning them when I grew up. I know that sometimes when we
travel, I pass by buildings with Roman numerals inscribed in the cornerstones.
I think students should learn what these numbers are. The
Super Bowl still uses them and so do the Olympics. I see them on copyrights for
movies and some books. It may one day be a lost skill.
I did find some resources about teaching roman numerals and
wanted to share them:
Do you teach Roman numerals to your students? I’d like to
know how many people do. Do you have any resources to share?

I heard them say that this was the last super bowl to use Roman numerals. Next year it will be Super Bowl 50. Sad!! Jan Brown
