Numbers

Description

This math clip art image is the second in the series modeling multiples of 10. It shows two 10 row by 1 column arrays, representing the number 20. This visual representation builds upon the previous image, demonstrating how tens can be combined to create larger numbers.

As part of the progressive series, this image helps students understand how 20 is composed of two groups of 10. It plays a crucial role in developing number sense and preparing students for more complex mathematical concepts involving place value and operations with tens.

Using math clip art like this is essential in mathematics education, particularly for teaching number concepts and place value. These visual models help students understand abstract ideas by providing concrete representations. For modeling 20, seeing two distinct columns of 10 reinforces the concept of grouping by tens and introduces the idea of 2 tens making 20.

Teacher's Script: "Now we have two columns, each with 10 objects. Let's count the first column: 1, 2, 3... 10. And now the second: 11, 12, 13... 20. Do you see how we used two groups of 10 to make 20? This is a great way to understand how larger numbers are built from tens. Can you think of any situations where you might count things in groups of 10 or 20?"
