In this section, we provide materials to assist you in integrating lessons about censuses into subjects like history, civics, reading, geography, and math. Use this information in conjunction with the elementary, middle, and high school lesson plans posted on this website or create your own.

If you've created a lesson plan that uses census data to teach about a historical topic, would you be interested in sharing it on this website with other teachers? If so, e-mail it to the U.S. Census Bureau's History Staff.
