Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 18

Topic

Numbers and Operations

Description

This math clip art image showcases the sum of two addends on two ten frames. The first addend is depicted by 11 red counters, filling the entire first ten frame and placing one on the second. The second addend is represented by 8 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual model effectively illustrates the addition problem 11 + 8 = 19, further reinforcing addition within 20.

As the eighteenth image in the series, it continues the pattern of increasing sums, now just one short of reaching 20. This progression helps students visualize how adding one more to the second addend affects the total sum, approaching the upper limit of 20. The series as a whole supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and the understanding of place value concepts, particularly focusing on teen numbers and their composition.

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 picture?"
