Cultural and Civic Celebrations!
Back to school? We’ve got your back! Whether you are in a classroom or teaching remotely, there’s a lot to observe and reflect on in September– from the signing of the Constitution to Hispanic Heritage Month and Voter Registration Day. This month, explore free fun-filled resources in honor of these events.
 Celebrate Constitution Day With SIS!
 This September 17, join us in celebrating the anniversary of the Constitution’s signing. Constitution Day is an opportunity for students to learn why the census is conducted every 10 years—and why a complete and accurate population count is so important. It’s also a perfect time to remind your students and their families that it is not too late to respond to the 2020 Census and that their responses will help shape the future.
On Constitution Day, students of all ages can use Statistics in Schools activities and resources to learn about how the census enables funding and planning for education as well as determines the number of seats each state gets in Congress for the next 10 years. Explore Constitution Day-related fun facts, view a video on the Apportionment process, or download topical worksheets that are sure to engage students.
Let’s Observe Hispanic Heritage Month!
 Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the Frequency Distributions middle school math activity. Students can compare and contrast the frequencies of Hispanic or Latino populations’ percentages for 50 states and the District of Columbia. This activity also give students the opportunity to create frequency tables and histogram. The perfect resource for this time of year!
