Description

This math clip art image continues the series on skip counting by 10's, now showing a number line with a skip count to 20. It builds upon the previous image by extending the count from 0 to 10, and now to 20. The number line clearly marks 0, 10, and 20, with arrows indicating the movements between these numbers.

This visual representation is essential for reinforcing the concept of skip counting by 10's. By showing the progression from the previous image, it helps students understand that skip counting is a repeated process. The consistent interval between the numbers (0 to 10, 10 to 20) visually demonstrates the pattern in counting by 10's and introduces the concept of tens in place value.

The use of such math clip art is invaluable in teaching skip counting and place value concepts. It provides a clear, visual model that helps students grasp the concept of equal intervals and patterns in numbers. This approach is particularly effective for visual learners and can make abstract mathematical concepts more tangible and easier to understand.

Teacher's Script: "Let's continue our skip counting by 10's. We started at 0, jumped to 10, and now we're jumping again. Where do we land? That's right, 20! See how we're making equal jumps each time? Each jump is worth 10. Can you count with me? 0, 10, 20. Excellent! We're skip counting by 10's. Notice how these numbers end in 0 - this is because they're multiples of 10. How might this help us when we're working with larger numbers?"
