Comparing Roman Numerals

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a Roman numerals comparison exercise. Students are presented with pairs of Roman numerals, and their task is to fill in the blank with the correct comparison symbol: greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=). This requires students to evaluate the value of each Roman numeral and determine their relationship to one another. The exercise covers a range of numerals, helping students to practice with both smaller and larger Roman numeral values.

The worksheet’s objective is to teach students how to compare the values of Roman numerals. It encourages the development of skills in numerical analysis and the ability to discern the magnitude of numbers within the Roman numeral system. This activity not only reinforces the students’ understanding of the individual values of Roman numeral symbols but also how these symbols combine to represent different quantities. Through comparison, students gain a deeper appreciation of the numerical relationships and ordering that are foundational to arithmetic and number theory.
