March 2-6 is Statistics in Schools (SIS) Week, a nation-wide classroom exploration into real-world concepts. PreK-12 students will investigate a variety of topics using real-life data from the U.S. Census Bureau. SIS week will feature five days of classroom activities for students to learn about the census, as well as practice using statistics and data analysis skills.

Today, students learn all about apportionment*. 

For the rest of the week, students will explore: 

• Wednesday: Diversity Collage 

• Thursday: Virtual Field Trip 

• Friday: Shape My Community's Future 

Visit our 2020 Census page to learn more about how the census helps your schools and communities.

*Apportionment is one of the most important functions of the census. Apportionment measures the population so that seats in the U.S. House of Representatives can be correctly distributed.
