Light US Up

Funded May 6, 2022

The light table is used daily in my classroom. The students enjoy building structures and experimenting with different configurations of the colorful manipulatives with friends. These are stimulating activities for developing math skills such as spatial relations, patterning, awareness of changes in quantity, and organization. It has benefits for knowledge of cause and effect. When placing the manipulatives on the table the students learn that the colors change and they can blend colors as well as how they can balance and combine different manipulatives to build a structure. In addition there are many opportunities for social emotional learning and practice because this is a two person activity and students need to negotiate sharing the materials and space at the table, and weather to work together or separately. The light table is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow together.”
