Understand reading at home, but can I have someone (preferably from the teaching profession) explain to me why learning Roman numerals is a benefit to children.
How would you know which Super Bowl you were watching if you didn’t know them?
Or, which Apollo space mission?
Or, the time on your classy watch?
Or, what year that TV show was copyrighted?
Or, possibly just become a well-rounded individual with an ability to learn and apply their knowledge to the critical problem solving skills needed to navigate through life?
Learning everything is a benefit to children. It teaches them to learn, it instils discipline and self control. Roman numerals open their mind to other languages and other methods of expression. It's artistic so it inspires study of shape. It's historical and leads to questioning of things past and therefore future. And most importantly algebra.
How would you know which Rocky you were watching?
