Uses for a blank table

A printed grid of rows and columns is one of the most versatile pages to keep around:

  • Classroom: data collection in science experiments, reading logs, word sorts, attendance and sign-up sheets.
  • Home: chore charts, budget trackers, inventory lists, meal plans and contact lists.
  • Work: inspection checklists, time sheets, mileage logs and quick forms.

Tips

Use a wider first column for names or item descriptions and narrower columns for checkmarks or numbers. Turn on row numbers for sign-up sheets and lists. Choose landscape orientation when you need more than six columns. For a grid of equal squares instead of a table, use graph paper.
