Description

This image from the Language of Math series depicts the equation "15+6=21" in both numerical and word form. It continues the progression of addition concepts, now introducing sums that exceed 20.

The dual representation of the equation reinforces the connection between mathematical symbols and their 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 can result in sums greater than 20.

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, regrouping, 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 is it different from the previous ones we've studied? Can you think of a real-life situation where you might use this equation? For example, if you have 15 marbles and your friend gives you 6 more, how many marbles would you have in total?"
