Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 56

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 20 red counters, completely filling both ten frames. The second addend is shown by 0 yellow counters. This visual representation illustrates the sum 20 + 0 = 20, demonstrating addition within 20 and the concept of adding zero.

This image, the final one in the collection, is an invaluable tool for teaching addition within 20. It completes the progression of sums from 11 to 20, highlighting the special case of adding zero. This systematic approach helps reinforce number sense, addition strategies, and the understanding of zero as an additive identity.

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 final ten frame picture in our collection. How many red counters do you see? Are there any yellow counters? What special addition problem does this picture represent? Let's write it as a number sentence and solve it together. What happens when we add zero to a number? Why is this an important concept in mathematics?"
