Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 7

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 7 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual model effectively demonstrates the sum 10 + 7 = 17, reinforcing addition within 20.

As the seventh image in the series, it continues the progression of increasing sums. This sequence helps students visualize and understand how the total changes as the second addend grows. The entire collection supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and comprehension of place value concepts, particularly focusing on teen numbers.

Incorporating math clip art in mathematics instruction is crucial as it provides a tangible, visual representation of abstract numerical concepts. These images are particularly beneficial for visual and kinesthetic learners, bridging the gap between concrete manipulatives and symbolic mathematics. They also serve as excellent prompts for mathematical discussions, pattern recognition, and problem-solving activities in the classroom.

Teacher's Script: "Let's examine this ten frame picture. How many red counters can you count? And yellow counters? How has this picture changed from the previous ones? Can you tell me what addition problem this picture represents? Let's write it as a number sentence and solve it together. What patterns do you notice in the sums as we add more yellow counters? How close are we getting to filling the second ten frame completely?"
