How Can My PTA Host a Math Night?
Team up with your local Mathnasium center! Mathnasium is dedicated to bringing fun and exciting Math Nights to elementary schools nationwide. Even if you are not awarded one of the national grants, your local Mathnasium is happy to work with you to put on a Math Night at your school.
Are you interested? If so, find and contact your local Mathnasium using this Mathnasium location search. When reaching out, be sure to discuss:
- Prizes or food – Who will bring prizes? Food? What type?
- Volunteers – How many volunteers can you supply? How many volunteers can Mathnasium bring? What is the process for getting school clearance?
- Press or media – Will any newspapers attend? How can your PTA and Mathnasium work together to get the word out?
- Time and date – What dates work best for Mathnasium? What dates work with your PTA and school calendar?
Your PTA will be in charge of providing the space, promoting the night, and coordinating with the local Mathnasium. Check out this toolkit for free tools, resources and templates to host a successful Math Night.
