It provides a concrete visual representation of abstract mathematical concepts, making them more accessible to young learners. The use of such math clip art is crucial in developing mathematical literacy and fostering a deeper understanding of numerical relationships.

Teacher's Script: "Take a look at this equation. How is it different from the ones we've seen before? Can you think of a real-life situation where you might use this equation? For example, if you have 1 toy car and your parents give you 3 more for your birthday, how many toy cars would you have in total?"
