I was at one of our Math Medley Family Math Night events recently and was in awe of how the family math night coordinator had set up<\/a> the room. It looked like fun party was about to take place!<\/p>\n

One of the things Suzy, the coordinator, did was to use colorful plastic table covers. I thought it was a brilliant idea. I’ve always covered my tables with colored butcher paper and it takes a time to tape down all the edges. With the plastic, no taping was necessary.<\/p>\n

So, of course, I had to do the same thing as Suzy for the family math night event we were hosting at our sponsor school. Here’s the skinny on the table covers:<\/p>\n

-The Dollar Tree sells a 54 inch by 108 inch table cover for $1.
\n-I bought two table covers for each of the 8 stations totaling 16 table covers. (We will be having our event in the multi-use room and using the cafeteria tables. Each station will need 2 tables…although the tables are actually hinged together. So does that really make it one very long table??)
\n-The total cost for the table covers came to $17.16. Totally worth the time I will be saving in set-up time.
\n-As long as the covers don’t get too dinged up during the event, they’re reusable!<\/p>\n

Here’s what it looks like when the tables are\u00a0set up (with two extra tables for the Collaborative Project<\/a>):<\/p>\n
