Description

This clip art from the Language of Math collection showcases the equation "1+5=6" in both numerical and word formats. It continues the series of addition equations, now introducing the sum of six.

The simultaneous presentation of the equation in symbols and words reinforces the connection between mathematical language and everyday language. This visual representation helps students understand how numbers combine to form larger values and introduces the concept of "five more than" the initial number.

As part of the broader collection, this image can be used to teach basic addition, number sequencing, and early algebraic thinking. It provides a stepping stone for understanding more complex mathematical concepts in the future. The use of such math clip art is invaluable in creating a multi-sensory learning environment, making abstract mathematical ideas more concrete and accessible to all learners.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at this new equation. How does it relate to the ones we've seen before? Can you think of a real-world scenario where we might use this equation? For example, if you have 1 sticker and your teacher gives you 5 more for good behavior, how many stickers would you have in total?"
