UNDERSTAND THE IMAGE

39 = XXXIX

XXX is 30 and IX is 9. In IX, I comes before X, so subtract 1 from 10. Together, 30 + 9 = 39.

Try it in class

  • Cover 39 on the card and ask learners to read XXXIX.
  • Explain the conversion: XXX is 30 and IX is 9. In IX, I comes before X, so subtract 1 from 10. Together, 30 + 9 = 39.
  • Compare two number cards. Which represents the larger number, and how can you tell?
