1968 (MCMLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar, the 1968th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 968th year of the 2nd millennium , 68th year of the 20th century, and 9th year of the 1960s decade.

A Poem to remember all the Roman numerals:
M's "mille" (or 1000 said)
D's half (500 - quickly read!)
C's just a 100 (century!)
and L is half again - 50!
So all that's left is X and V
(or 10 and 5) - and I - easy!

With a creative add-on this is going to be perfect for the little students and good for the older ones.

This is good.  Going to share it with my sons.

Namaska Bryan,

Wise thing to do!

[Bryan Van Randall]

I've been working with them on learning the Greek Alphabet from Alpha to Beta as well.  I'm using song, rhythm and rhyme and a steady beat to get it in their heads.  That's how I learned it when I was young.  I learned the entire Greek alphabet in middle school and an I can still recite them to this day.  So it works.

In class on the last Wednesday it was suggested that we learn and practice the Roman Numerals and so we are back. !

It seemed I could copy and paste the symbol directly, but darn - apparently not.

Still. Ahem. I spy with my little eye one tetragrammaton becoming the number 1000.

That is interesting.  So 1000 being the full circle or 360 degrees and and 500 being half of a circle 180 degrees or "D".  Good stuff.
