Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 2

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 10 red counters, completely filling the first ten frame. The second addend is shown by 2 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual model effectively demonstrates the sum 10 + 2 = 12, reinforcing addition within 20.

As part of a comprehensive series, this image builds upon the previous one, showing how sums increase as more yellow counters are added. This progression helps students understand the concept of addition and supports the development of mental math strategies, such as making ten and counting on from ten.

The use of math clip art in teaching mathematics is essential as it provides a concrete, visual representation of abstract numerical concepts. These images are particularly beneficial for visual learners and help all students bridge the gap between physical manipulatives and symbolic mathematics. They also serve as excellent tools for discussion and collaborative problem-solving in the classroom.

Teacher's Script: "Look at this new ten frame picture. How many red counters do you see? And yellow counters? How does this picture compare to the previous one? Can you tell me what addition problem this picture represents? Let's write it as a number sentence together."
