Math Clip Art--Counting Examples--Modeling 90

Topic

Numbers

Description

This math clip art image focuses on modeling the number 90, providing a visual representation that helps students understand larger quantities and reinforces the concept of multiples of 10. The image displays 90 objects arranged in nine 10 row by 1 column arrays, representing nine tens.

As part of the expanding series of number modeling images for multiples of 10, this visual aid helps students progress in their understanding of place value and the composition of numbers approaching 100. It plays a vital role in developing number sense for larger quantities and prepares students for more advanced mathematical concepts, such as rounding to the nearest ten and understanding the base-10 system.

The use of such math clip art is crucial in mathematics education, particularly for teaching number concepts and place value. These visual models help students grasp abstract ideas by providing tangible representations. For modeling 90, seeing nine distinct columns of 10 reinforces the concept of grouping by tens and introduces the idea of 9 tens making 90, just short of a complete hundred.

Teacher's Script: "Let's explore this picture showing 90 objects. Can we count them together? Notice how they are arranged in nine columns, each with 10 objects. This is what 90 looks like. How many tens do we have? That's right, 9 tens! And 9 tens make 90. We're very close to 100 now. Can you think of ways we could count to 90 quickly using what we know about counting by 10s? How many more objects would we need to add to reach 100?"
