Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 19

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 9 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual representation clearly illustrates the addition problem 11 + 9 = 20, reaching the upper limit of addition within 20.

As the nineteenth image in the series, it completes the progression of increasing sums, reaching the maximum of 20. This final step in the sequence allows students to observe and predict how the total changes as the second addend grows to its maximum value. The entire series supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and understanding of place value concepts, particularly the transition from teen numbers to 20.

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 final ten frame picture in our series. How many red counters do you see? And yellow counters? How has this picture changed from all the previous ones? What special 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? Why do you think 20 is an important number in our number system?"
