Description

This clip art from the Language of Math collection illustrates the equation "9+5=14" in both numerical and word form. It continues the progression of addition concepts, now introducing a larger sum and the concept of adding a single-digit number to 9.

The dual representation of the equation helps students connect the abstract mathematical symbols with their concrete verbal expressions. This visual aid is crucial in developing number sense and understanding the concept of addition, particularly how combining numbers can result in sums greater than 10.

As part of the broader collection, this image can be used to teach basic addition, number sequencing, and early algebraic thinking. It provides a visual foundation for understanding more complex mathematical concepts like place value and regrouping. The use of such math clip art is essential in creating an inclusive learning environment that caters to various learning styles, particularly visual learners.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at this equation. How does it compare to the previous ones we've studied? Can you come up with a word problem that matches this equation? For example, if you have 9 stickers in your collection and your teacher gives you 5 more for good behavior, how many stickers would you have in total?"
