Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 16

Topic

Numbers and Operations

Description

This math clip art image presents the sum of two addends using two ten frames. The first addend is shown by 11 red counters, fully occupying the first ten frame and placing one on the second. The second addend is depicted by 6 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual representation clearly illustrates the addition problem 11 + 6 = 17, continuing to reinforce addition within 20.

As the sixteenth image in the series, it further extends the pattern of increasing sums, now just three short of reaching 20. This progression allows students to observe and predict how the total changes as the second addend grows, emphasizing the composition of teen numbers. The entire series supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and understanding of place value concepts, particularly the transition from numbers 11-19 to 20.

Incorporating math clip art in mathematics instruction is crucial as it provides a tangible, visual representation of abstract numerical concepts. These images are particularly beneficial for visual and kinesthetic learners, helping to bridge the gap between physical manipulatives and symbolic mathematics. They also serve as excellent prompts for mathematical discussions, pattern recognition, and problem-solving activities in the classroom.

Teacher's Script: "Let's examine this ten frame picture carefully. How many red counters can you count? And yellow counters? How has this picture changed from the previous ones? What addition problem does this picture represent? Let's write it as a number sentence and solve it together. What patterns do you notice in the sums as we've added more yellow counters? How close are we to reaching 20? What will happen in the next few pictures?"
