  5. Making Our class census 1) You have been assigned the task of collecting census data about your class and processing the results. Your local authority needs this information in order to compare the population structure of your class with that of a class in a neighbouring school. You need to gather information on the following characteristics of members of your class: age (years and months), gender, religion, ethnicity, number of people living in their home, means of travel to school. (a) Devise a simple census form to gather the information about each member of your class. It should be A4, produced using ICT skills, with tick boxes for the answers. Think carefully about the wording of each question. (b) In small groups, look at each other’s forms and decide on the best one. Then, as a class, look at these group choices and choose the one to be used in the census. (c) Each member of your class needs to complete the census form and the tallied results should be copied by everyone.

  6. Using Our class census (d) Graph the results to illustrate the characteristics of your class. Try and include a range of techniques – bar graphs, pie charts and divided bar charts. (e) Of what use would the findings of this census be to: • the local authority? • the head teacher?
