Part of: [Alaska: Social studies](https://ai.page/roadmap/ak-ss.md)

Goal: Alaska academic standards: Social studies, Grade 6

## 1. Informed Civic Discourse and Engagement

- [Helping Others Resolve Conflicts](https://ai.page/c/helping-others-resolve-conflicts/index.md): Mediate conflicts between others — helping two friends who are arguing by listening to both sides, helping them see each other's perspective, and guiding them toward a fair resolution

## 2. Evaluate Sources and Evidence

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is

## 3. Community Awareness · Participation and Deliberation

- [Community Rights and Responsibilities](https://ai.page/c/community-rights-and-responsibilities/index.md): Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way

## 4. Community Awareness · Decision‐Making and Personal Finance

- [Risk, Uncertainty, and Cognitive Bias](https://ai.page/c/risk-uncertainty-and-cognitive-bias/index.md): Distinguish between risk (decisions with known probabilities) and uncertainty (decisions with unknown outcomes); identify cognitive biases that distort risk assessment: availability heuristic (judging likelihood by how easily examples come to mind), present bias (overvaluing the immediate over the future), optimism bias (underestimating personal risk), and groupthink; understand why adolescent brains are biologically calibrated toward higher risk tolerance; apply a structured decision-making framework to real choices; understand the role of personal values in decisions where facts alone cannot determine the answer
- [Financial Planning](https://ai.page/c/financial-planning/index.md): Setting longer-term financial goals; planning and prioritising spending; how saving regularly adds up over time; the value of thinking ahead with money

## 5. Resources and Economics · Human Environment Interaction: Place, Regions, and Culture

- [Culture and Experience Shape Emotions](https://ai.page/c/culture-and-experience-shape-emotions/index.md): Understand that emotional responses are shaped by personal experiences, culture, and context — the same situation triggers different emotions in different people because of their backgrounds and past experiences
