Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 17

Topic

Numbers and Operations

Description

This math clip art image illustrates the sum of two addends using two ten frames. The first addend is represented by 11 red counters, completely filling the first ten frame and placing one on the second. The second addend is shown by 7 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual model effectively demonstrates the sum 11 + 7 = 18, reinforcing addition within 20.

As the seventeenth image in the series, it continues the progression of increasing sums, now just two short of reaching 20. This sequence helps students visualize and understand how the total changes as the second addend grows, ultimately approaching the upper limit of 20. The entire collection supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and comprehension of place value concepts, particularly focusing on the composition of teen numbers.

The use of math clip art in teaching mathematics is invaluable as it offers a concrete, visual representation of abstract numerical concepts. These images are especially beneficial for visual and kinesthetic learners, bridging the gap between physical manipulatives and symbolic mathematics. They also provide excellent opportunities for mathematical discussions, pattern recognition, and problem-solving activities in the classroom.

Teacher's Script: "Take a close look at this ten frame picture. How many red counters do you see? And yellow counters? How has this picture changed from all the previous ones? What addition problem does this picture represent? Let's write it as a number sentence and solve it together. What patterns have you noticed throughout this entire series of pictures? How close are we to reaching 20? What do you think the next picture will show?"
