Roman Numerals up to L
Long ago people kept records in form of pictures, which were difficult to draw. Therefore they discovered the way of using symbols to
represent the pictures. The first people to use symbols were the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians.
Roman Numerals
They work on the principle of expanded numbers.

= XX + III

c) 4 ______0
d) 17 _____6
Which is less?
a) 98 ______89
b) 412 ____241
c) 934 ____943
d) 521 ____512
Addition of numbers
Numbers should be arranged correctly according to their place value. When adding we start from ones. If there is any carrying, then we
carry 1 ten to tens.
We continue in that order until all numbers are added correctly.

Number facts sequences
Even numbers
They leave no remainders when divided by 2. Zero is an even number and it is the first even number.
e.g
0÷2=0
0 is an even number.
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ……………
Odd numbers
Numbers that cannot be exactly divided by 2 are odd numbers. The first odd number is one.
E.G
3 ÷ 2 = 1 reminder 1
3 is an odd number.
Odd numbers less than 13.
1’3, 5, 7,9’ 11, ……………
Prime numbers
These are numbers that have two factors, One and itself.
e.g 1 x 2 = 2, 1 x 3 = 3
2 and 3 are prime numbers.
Prime numbers include;
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, …………..
Counting numbers
They are numbers we use to count. They are also called Natural numbers. Natural numbers include;
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ……………….
Whole numbers
These are like counting numbers but they begin with zero. The following is a list of whole numbers.
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ……………….
Factors of Numbers
Factors are numbers which are multiplied to give us a product (multiple).
1x2=2 -1 and 2 are factors of 2.
2x3=6 -2 and 3 are factors of 6.
Finding L.C.M
L.C.M is Lowest Common Multiple, listing multiples of given numbers then sort out common multiple which we get the L.C.M.
M3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …………………., etc.
M2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
C.M = 6, 12
L.C.M = 6
Magic squares
Each row, columns and diagonal add up to the same number which we call a magic number.
6+1+8
b + 8 + 2 = 15 c + 1 + 5 = 15
6 a 2 b + 10 = 15. c + 6 = 15
b + 10 – 10 = 15 – 10 c + 6 – 6 = 15 - 6
