Our fan-favorite data access tool, State Facts for Students, has gotten a refresh!

Statistics in Schools brings subjects to life using real-world Census Bureau data to create materials for use year after year at all grade levels. Newly Refreshed: State Facts for Students Tool Our fan-favorite data access tool, State Facts for Students, has gotten a refresh! We added additional facts and functionality, updated the U.S. map to show geographical regions, and included a more interactive experience to peak students' interest. There are now two ways to view the information—with a visualization of interesting facts along a colorful road or with the familiar table view. With this tool, students can discover information about their state's population, geography, businesses, and history. They will be able to examine and compare data about children their own age and other fun facts such as the number of ice cream makers or amusement parks in different states. In addition, this cool data can be easily downloaded in image, PDF, and PowerPoint formats to use in reports or class projects.  Here are some of the activities that use State Facts for Students: Elementary Math: Changes in My State: Learn about your state as you collect and organize business information on amusement parks, zoos and botanical gardens, and ice cream and frozen dessert makers. The Place of My State: Analyze the population data of your state and round the population numbers of multiple states to different place values. Using Fractions to Compare Amusements Parks by States: Predict how many amusement parks are in your state. Comparing My State: Compare data for two states using comparison symbols and both rounded and unrounded (exact) numbers. Looking at Numbers of Births Using a Line Graph: Look at census data and determine the birth years of children who were ages 8 to 11 in 2019. Elementary Geography: Scavenger Hunt: Where Is Gina the Geographer: Participate in an online scavenger hunt based on a story about a geographer named Gina who has escaped to an undisclosed location. Using a map, students follow clues to eliminate places where she is not to determine where she is located. Elementary/Middle English: Numbers That Tell a Story: Explore data about your state and voice opinions on how the population has changed over time.
