Math Clip Art--Counting Examples--Modeling 10

Numbers

Description

This math clip art image is the first in a series focusing on modeling multiples of 10. It displays a single 10 row by 1 column array, representing the number 10. This visual representation is crucial for helping students understand the concept of tens and how they can be grouped.

As the initial image in the series, it sets the foundation for understanding how larger numbers can be built using these 10 x 1 arrays. This approach is particularly effective for visual learners and helps make the abstract concept of place value more concrete.

The use of such math clip art is invaluable in teaching number sense and place value. By providing a clear, visual model of 10, it helps students grasp the concept of grouping by tens, which is fundamental to our base-10 number system. This image serves as a building block for understanding larger numbers and operations involving tens.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at this image. What do you see? That's right, it's a column of 10 objects. This is how we can represent the number 10. Count with me from top to bottom. One, two, three... all the way to ten! This single column of 10 is going to help us understand bigger numbers. In our next images, we'll see how we can use more of these columns to show larger numbers."
