The Census Bureau publishes a number of interactive maps that allow students and teachers to explore up-to-date census data, as well as historical data, migration patterns, and many other demographic topics. Use this page as inspiration for both whole-group and small-group activities.
The Quick Facts page allows teachers to access, explore, and compare basic Census data at multiple scales. As an example, compare Census data in the same table for the U.S.A (national scale), your state (sub-national scale), and your county or city (local scale). This data can be used to frame lessons on demographic patterns. Explore the data available and use what interests you and your students. This data can help develop several of the Foundational Geography Skills, as well as the Guiding Questions, found in the UEN standards document.
