=Culminating Task: Census at School=

Visit the Census at School website to create your teacher password and register your class. You can view the questionnaire here. Students visit this page to register and complete the survey online. Visit this page to access your class data in .csv form which can be opened with any spreadsheet program (e.g. Excel or Open Office Calc)


 * Note**: for the culminating task, the students will have to choose numeric data only. You may choose to let them know this at the start, so they only do numeric questions, or you may choose to let them decide later in the week which data will be useful to them.

International data can be accessed here. Students can access data from any of the countries they are interested in, which participate in the program. If it is not possible to download data for some reason, this file contains random data from each participating country, as well as several regions across Canada. The file also includes a sample analysis on the last sheet.

=Investigations= This document contains instructions for 5 investigations. You may also visit the Investigations page for more ideas. It is suggested that the students do one investigation per day. As they learn more about analysis, they can revisit past investigations to deepen their analysis of the relationship in each experiment.

=Day 1= Aside from an investigation and introducing the culminating task, use the following to activate and assess prior knowledge, and lead into the week's work. The full document, which contains teacher notes and other activities, is on the Links page. (Patterning to Algebraic Modelling)
