Math Clip Art--Counting Examples--Tens Model: 20

Topic

Numbers

Description

This math clip art image continues the Tens Model series, now showing a 10x10 grid with two complete columns filled, representing 20. Each column is a 10 row by 1 column array, visually demonstrating how 20 is composed of two groups of 10.

Building upon the previous images, this visual aid helps students see how larger numbers are built using groups of ten. It plays a crucial role in developing number sense and preparing students for more complex mathematical concepts involving place value and operations with tens.

The use of such math clip art is invaluable in mathematics education, particularly for teaching number concepts and place value. This visual model helps students understand the abstract idea of "twenty" by providing a concrete representation. Seeing two full 10x1 arrays filled reinforces the concept of grouping by tens and introduces the idea of 2 tens making 20.

Teacher's Script: "Look at our grid now. We've filled in two whole columns. Each column has 10 squares. Let's count by tens -- 10, 20. This represents the number 20 in our Tens Model. Can you see how 20 is made up of two groups of 10? How many more groups of 10 would we need to fill the entire grid?"
