Tuesday, 7 March 2006 is Census Day in New Zealand, when every adult and child in the country is counted in the five-yearly Census of Population and Dwellings.
Statistics New Zealand has developed the 2006 Census Education Resource for primary, intermediate and secondary schools to use during the first term and throughout the rest of the year. A selection of related online resources and activities and Māori and Pacific language resources are also available.
Teachers and resource writers have put together cross-curriculum activities that are easily photocopied or printed. The activities incorporate the essential skills of gathering, sorting, interpreting and presenting information.
The 2006 Census Education Resource has themes of special interest to students, including topics on population pyramids, changing employment, cultural diversity, planning for the future, groups and communities, and the census process.
To request a copy of the resource, please click here to register your details. The resource will be sent as orders are received.
