You can now preview the questions for this year’s CensusAtSchool:

http://www.censusatschool.org.nz/2011/questions/

New questions include:

Asking the students for their mother’s favourite learning area when she was at school (in addition to their own favourite learning area). It will be fun to explore if there are any patterns between these two!

A matching pairs memory game. Who’s the fastest?

Rugby World cup predictions – which teams will be in the final and what will be the final score?

Let us know what you think of these!

We wanted to let you know about a fantastic new Level 4 resource on our site:

How high can you jump?

This resource focuses on the planning part of the enquiry cycle: collecting good, reliable data from surveys.

CensusAtSchool update:

Remember to register and book a computer lab for your class to take part in May.

Can you help spread the word and let other teachers know?
We’d love to get the biggest participation ever this year!

This year we’ll be asking questions on lots of topics including getting your students to predict the final two teams and their scores for the Rugby World Cup.

CensusAtSchool is a nationwide online survey for Year 5 – 13 students which provides real, relevant data and classroom activities to enhance statistical enquiry across the curriculum.

We’ll keep you updated via email newsletters in the lead up to CensusAtSchool in May.
