The U.S. Census happens every 10 years — sometimes only once during the time that your students are in school!
These materials, developed by the U.S. Census Bureau and Scholastic, will help you ensure that the 2010 Census doesn’t come and go without your students’ awareness.
Lesson plans and maps are available for the U.S. and U.S. Territories, Grades K-4, Grades 5-8, Grades 9-12.
In addition to these lesson plans, many other organizations have also developed teaching aids that use census data to teach subjects like math, geography, and history.
