I chose to write my vowels in red, my consonances with blue, and then my digraphs with green. I flip them over so I can write on the bottom of them.
Learning with a Light Table: Building Wordsįor this activity, take those clear shot glasses again and your sharpies. Here is an example of how this activity comes together. Next, I place the pieces on the light table and let your students layer the plates to create words. I want my students to make as many words as possible. Then, I take a blue Sharpie to write consonances to make words. Start this learning light table activity by writing one vowel with a red sharpie in the middle of a plate. This activity only needs clear plastic plates and Sharpies. This activity is a huge hit! I use the clear plates to create CVC words. Learning with a Light Table: CVC Word Building I cut the equation into two pieces and apply them to the neon shot glasses. You can also take neon shot glasses and Avery Clear Address Labels to make addition equations. Learning with a Light Table: Addition Equations Next, I would have used the same part of the straw to make the sets of ones as well. If I was preparing this activities over again, I would have cut the straws off at the bendable part and made that the set of ten. I honestly didn’t love the bendable part of this straw. We can use these as counting rods to make sets of 10, addition and subtraction equations, and so much more. Now my students have parts of a whole as well as counting pieces. I kept many the same but I took others and cut them up into 10 ones. Learning with a Light Table: Tens and Ones Here is another look at this fun game! I also think you could make a number line with the tape and use the cups to hop up and down the number line to answer math problems. I have also hear them making up verbal word problems to each other and using the ten frames to help them “figure out” the answer. Now my students have a fun way to complete addition and subtraction equations in a fun way. You could use Transparent Color Counting Chips if you have them as well. I used a Sharpie to color the bottom yellow and red. Next, I took the clear plastic shot glasses and flipped them over. You could also use painters tape as well. I used Washi tape because it is what I had on hand and I knew I could peel it off and reapply to get it to the right size easily. Then I used black Washi tape to create a ten frame. I found a way to create this ten frame mat and an open ended math activity.įirst, I took a ran through a sheet of lamination empty. Ten frames are a staple in lower elementary classrooms. Learning with a Light Table: Ten Frame Activities I also found the neon green ruler in the school supply area. I also found small clear plates, neon straws, and to go sauce containers in the paper product section. Many items in the alcohol section like clear shot glasses and cocktail stirrers. Try to find items that are clear or translucent as well as cheap. Look for supplies at grocery stores or on Amazon, I have used Amazon links here to help. You can use simple, easy to find and cheap items to make amazing activities for your students. It is expensive but so cool so for now, I am using my $10 camping light light table. I have been eyeing this Lakeshore Light Table. I would love to have a nice, fancy light table. This means that I have a light table for less than $10, including the batteries. I simply flip the container onto its cover to use it upside down and place the camping light inside it. I use a LED battery operated camping light that uses AA batteries. I use a shallow, clear plastic tub with a white lid. Let me start by telling you that my light table isn’t fancy or high tech. Here are some examples of ways to increase learning activities with your light table. By tying in math and reading skills your students are already learning about, you will find them working on learning activities on their own. Learning with a light table is a fun way to let little learners play to learn.
