Description

This image from the Language of Math series presents the equation "13+4=17" in both numerical and word form. It continues the progression of addition concepts with increasingly larger numbers and sums.

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 teen numbers with single-digit numbers results in larger sums.

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 mental math strategies. 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 examine 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 13 books on your shelf and your parents buy you 4 more, how many books would you have altogether?"
