Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 22

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 12 red counters, fully occupying the first ten frame and placing two on the second. The second addend is depicted by 3 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual representation clearly illustrates the addition problem 12 + 3 = 15, continuing to reinforce addition within 20.

As the twenty-second image in the series, it further extends the pattern of increasing sums with 12 as the first addend. This progression allows students to observe and predict how the total changes as the second addend grows. The entire series supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and understanding of place value concepts, particularly 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: "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? Can you predict what the next few sums will be?"
