Teaching resources to use with your Maths Class related to the Census, from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)

With the Australian Census scheduled for 9 August 2011 (today), I'll be looking at the census with my Year 8 class. Here are some great resources that I've found to use. You can access data from the last census, whilst the data for this Census will be released in 2 stages: June 2012 and October 2012.

• Great set of TV Ads (via Youtube)


• 2011 Household Census Form


• Census Data (raw data from previous years)


• ABS PDF: "How Australia Takes a Census"


• How the census is conducted (ABS)


• What is Census Data used for? (ABS)


• Topics investigated in the census


• An 'Alternative Census' by news.com.au


• Flash presentation (movie like) that focuses on the statistics of one person (you input a few characteristics)


• Infographic showing time-series data on ages, as you move your cursor, the graph changes.
