Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 20

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 12 red counters, completely filling the first ten frame and placing two on the second. The second addend is shown by 1 yellow counter on the second ten frame. This visual model effectively demonstrates the sum 12 + 1 = 13, reinforcing addition within 20.

As the twentieth image in the series, it begins a new progression of sums starting with 12 as the first addend. This sequence helps students visualize and understand how the total changes as the second addend grows, building upon their previous knowledge of sums up to 20. The entire collection supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and comprehension of place value concepts, particularly focusing on 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: "Let's examine this new ten frame picture. How many red counters can you count? And yellow counters? How is this picture different from the previous ones we've seen? What addition problem does this picture represent? Let's write it as a number sentence and solve it together. How do you think the sums will change as we add more yellow counters in the next pictures?"
