Ten Frame--Modeling Sums within Twenty-Image 8

Topic

Numbers and Operations

Description

This math clip art image showcases the sum of two addends on two ten frames. The first addend is depicted by 10 red counters, filling the entire first ten frame. The second addend is represented by 8 yellow counters on the second ten frame. This visual model effectively illustrates the addition problem 10 + 8 = 18, further reinforcing addition within 20.

As the eighth image in the series, it continues the pattern of increasing sums. This progression helps students visualize how adding one more to the second addend affects the total sum, approaching the upper limit of 20. The series as a whole supports the development of number sense, addition strategies, and the understanding of place value concepts, particularly focusing on teen numbers and their composition.

The use of math clip art in mathematics instruction is invaluable as it offers a concrete, visual representation of abstract numerical concepts. These images are especially helpful 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: "Take a close look at this ten frame picture. How many red counters do you see? 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 add more yellow counters? How many more counters can we add before we reach 20?"
