 4 Great Tips for Using SIS in the Classroom
We’re back! This time we’re providing four tips for using census materials in your classroom to engage students and supplement your existing lesson plans:
- Use the teachers’ guides that Statistics in Schools (SIS) provides for most activities. Census.gov/schools prominently displays these teacher versions, which include best practices and ways to tailor activities to any educational setting.
- Need something short? Use our five-minute, data-centered warm-up activities to jump-start your class or spark your students’ interest in a particular subject.
- Use maps to help students visualize data.
- Know which of the online tools for accessing census data are best for students at your grade level.
You can find even more resources at census.gov/schools, including videos, games, and data visualizations. Check them out, and we’ll be back in touch soon!
