The Teacher Toolbox

At the moment I’m spending a bit of time each day trying to build a website to make the learning of Roman Numerals just a little more interesting than a worksheet. My plan is to include colourful illustrations, interesting facts about the number system and real world places the system is used. I also plan to include a little humour e.g.

Q – How do you cut an empire in half?
A – With a pair of caesars

The site currently has content relating to: origins of the number system, use in copyright, naming kings, milestones, clocks, gladiators, famous battles, why on buildings, why we learn about them & the founding of Rome. I’m thinking of throwing some destruction in e.g. Pompii & the Fire of Rome to keep the punters interested.

As of today I’ve planned about XX pages & have illustrated VII  If you have any tried and true lessons or roman jokes that might make this concept a little more interesting, feel free to email them to me. I’m hoping to have the site ready by the end of November.

cheers
