So today a student in my freshman Latin class asked, "Did the Romans have anything bigger than M [representing one thousand]? How did they take a census if that's the biggest unit they had?"
We discussed this for a moment and then I openly admitted that while it would be more fun to fake a sophisticated reply, the truth is that I did not know the answer to this one. Do you? Help me keep the ninth graders impressed.
I spent the last two hours of the day making a quick reference guide on cardstock for the seventh and eighth graders. I'm really quite proud of what came out. It is an easy-to-use (I hope) single sheet that goes through most of the very basic material we've covered so far this year.
