Howdy ya’ll!!!
So you know I love my DIY lightbox that I made last summer.
It’s a HUGE hit in the classroom. It’s hands on. It’s engaging. It’s fun. It lights up real pretty and all. It almost sparkles and you know how much I love things that sparkle. OOOO SPARKLY!
Well you also know that I hoard the little plastic shot glasses from Dollar Tree. You know…for shots of water and Kool Aid! Like ya’ll…they are stating to look at me like I might have a problem because I’m buying so many…I try to convince them that the cups are for 5 year olds…and well…that sounds really bad!
So I used some of my math manipulatives to make a differentiated number recognition and writing lightbox center/workstation/hippopotamus.
Total cost of this project: $3.
You need: plastic manipulative cups (AKA shot glasses) and address labels (Avery 15660)
I printed the numbers on my labels. Get your number labels here!
Then I attached the number labels to the cups.
BAM! Number order. Number recognition. Number writing.
Hands on. Engaging. Fun.

I made two different recording sheets so the center/workstation/hippopotamus can be easily differentiated!
