Math Clip Art--Counting Examples--Tens Model: 70

Topic

Numbers

Description

This math clip art image continues the Tens Model series, showing a 10x10 grid with seven complete columns filled, representing 70. Each column is a 10 row by 1 column array, visually demonstrating how 70 is composed of seven groups of 10.

As part of the progressive series of number modeling images for multiples of 10, this visual aid helps students build upon their understanding of smaller numbers and extend their counting skills to larger quantities. It plays a crucial role in developing number sense and preparing students for more complex mathematical concepts, such as multiplication, division, and place value with two-digit numbers.

Using math clip art like this is essential in mathematics education, particularly for teaching number concepts and place value. This visual model helps students understand the abstract idea of "seventy" by providing a concrete representation. Seeing seven full 10x1 arrays filled reinforces the concept of grouping by tens and introduces the idea of 7 tens making 70.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at our grid now. We've filled in seven whole columns. Each column has 10 squares. Let's count by tens -- 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. This represents the number 70 in our Tens Model. How many tens do we have? That's right, 7 tens! And 7 tens make 70. Can you see how we're getting closer to filling our entire grid? How many more columns do we need to fill?"
