Over the last week or so I’ve been reading a book by Matt Groening (The Simpsons Handbook: Secret Tips from the Pros
I really am making progress in creating my Roman Numerals site. I’m finding that I’m increasingly happy with how the graphics are progressing as I experiment more with the software.
Tonight I’ve completed the XVIth page 
I’m thinking that when I get to the XXXth page I’ll go live.

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.

Here is my second Roman Numerals poster. This one is going on the fridge for Mr 9 to glance at while he is looking for food
Tonight I’ve added a roman numerals poster to my Math website as my son currently wants to explore them.
I’ve also added a few activities that point out the real world applications of roman numerals.
