Hi, Melissa, Kim here. I saw this method for pagination in a math book when I was in fourth, fifth, or sixth grade (sorry, can't remember which).

The majority of Braille books I read have roman numerals for preliminary pages and Arabic numbers for the main pages of the book. I have seen a few with the P preceding the preliminary pages, though I definitely wouldn't call it the standard.
