CBSE Class VI ( 6th) Mathematics Chapter 1 : Knowing our Numbers -Roman Numerals System

The numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 etc, which we have been using  so far, are the numbers from the Hindu-Arabic numeral system . This is not the only system available. One of the early systems of writing numerals is the system of Roman numerals e.g. I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X etc. This system is still used in many places.
For example, we can see the use of Roman numerals in clocks; it is also used for classes in the school time table etc.
