Using new Statistics in Schools (SIS) resources in your classroom during the 2019-2020 school year will support efforts to make sure EVERY child is counted in the 2020 Census. This count impacts the federal funds that communities receive for special education, classroom technology, teacher training, after-school programs, school lunch assistance, and more.
SIS brings school subjects to life using real-world Census Bureau statistics to create materials for use year after year at all grade levels. SIS is:
Teacher-designed. Teachers helped create and review each activity to make sure it is valuable and engaging.
Easy to use. Materials are free, easily customized, and supportive of existing lesson plans.
Valuable. SIS enhances learning, boosts statistical literacy, and prepares students for a data-driven world.
Bring data close to home by helping students collect, analyze, and compare kid-friendly information about their own state.
