CensusAtSchool home page Maths - Quick C@S Activities Quick C@S activities take less than 30 minutes to complete and each task invites modification to suit your context. The learning tasks relate to a specific question from the CensusAtSchool questionnaire and many tasks invite students to download data from the Random Sampler. If your students don't have access to computers to generate a random sample, you can download data from our Prepared Samples. The following learning tasks (Quick C@S Activities) have been coded to provide suggested starting points for alignment with the new Australian Curriculum Mathematics (ACM). In order to facilitate deep learning, the ACM code is provided as a link to the Content Description by year level, matched to an appropriate learning task. You can access a range of ABS Education Services resources, including CensusAtSchool, through Scootle. We welcome your feedback. We're keen to know if you recommend a learning task be linked to a different content description.
