Activities Developing Data Analysis Skills
The US Census Bureau has unveiled its newly updated Statistics in Schools program for K–12 teachers and students. Using current and historical data, the Census Bureau provides teachers the tools to help students understand statistical concepts and improve their data analysis skills. The program offers free online activities and other resources in geography, history, math, and sociology. Among the activities are “The Progressives and the 1920 Census” for high school history classes; “An Analysis of the Millennial Generation” for high school sociology classes; “Two-Way Tables—Walking and Bicycling to Work” for middle school math classes; and “Changes in My State” for elementary school math classes. In addition to downloadable activities and games, the Statistics in Schools website presents videos, infographics, and data visualizations. The site also provides information to help explain Census Bureau data to students, along with searchable data access tools.
