The Language of Math

Description

This clip art from the Language of Math collection illustrates the equation "14+5=19" in both numerical and word form. It advances the complexity of addition concepts by working with larger teen numbers and approaching sums close to 20.

The simultaneous presentation of the equation in symbols and words strengthens the connection between mathematical language and everyday language. This visual representation helps students understand how numbers combine and introduces the concept of adding to a number in the teens.

As part of the larger collection, this image can be used to teach basic addition, number sequencing, and early algebraic thinking. It provides a stepping stone for understanding more advanced mathematical concepts like place value and mental math strategies. 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 explore this equation together. What happens when we add 5 to 14? Can you think of a real-world scenario where we might use this equation? For instance, if you have 14 stickers and your teacher gives you 5 more for good behavior, how many stickers would you have in total?"
