Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 41

Topic

Numbers and Operations

Description

This math clip art image models the sum of two addends on two ten frames. The first addend is represented by 15 red counters, completely filling the first ten frame and placing five on the second. The second addend is shown by 1 yellow counter on the second ten frame. This visual representation illustrates the sum 15 + 1 = 16, demonstrating addition within 20.

This image, part of a larger collection, is an invaluable tool for teaching addition within 20. By progressing through the series, students can observe how sums change as the number of yellow counters increases. This systematic approach helps reinforce number sense and addition strategies, such as making ten and counting on.

Using math clip art to teach mathematics is crucial as it provides a visual and concrete representation of abstract concepts. These images help students, especially visual learners, to grasp mathematical ideas more easily. They also serve as a bridge between concrete manipulatives and abstract number sentences, facilitating the development of mental math skills.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at this new ten frame picture. How many red counters do you see? Great! Now, how many yellow counters do you see? If we add the red and yellow counters together, what total do we get? Can you write this as an addition sentence? How does this compare to the previous images we've seen?"
