I remember learning Roman numerals in 1st or 2nd grade and finding them to be a lot easier for basic arithmetic.

I mean, all of the examples we used in school to learn basic arithmetic had things like "(picture of 4 apples) + (picture of 2 apples) = (picture of 6 apples)". Roman numerals are kind of a pictograph in a way.
