Goal: Colorado academic standards: Social studies, Grade 2

## 1. Second Grade · Investigate costs and benefits to make informed financial decisions.

- [Actions and Their Consequences](https://ai.page/c/actions-and-their-consequences/index.md): Understand that actions have consequences — that what you choose to do affects both yourself and other people — and begin to think about what might happen before they act
- [Needs & Wants](https://ai.page/c/needs-and-wants/index.md): The difference between things we need (food, shelter, clothing) and things we want (toys, treats); that we sometimes have to choose because money is limited
- [Advertising & Spending](https://ai.page/c/advertising-and-spending/index.md): How advertising tries to influence what we buy; being a critical consumer; understanding 'value for money'; the difference between emotional and rational spending
- [Coins & Notes](https://ai.page/c/coins-and-notes/index.md): Recognising common coins and notes, knowing their values, and understanding that different combinations can make the same amount
- [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

## 2. Second Grade · Explain the roles and characteristics of people who govern different communities.

- [Similarities & Differences](https://ai.page/c/similarities-and-differences/index.md): Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting
- [Rules and agreements exist](https://ai.page/c/rules-and-agreements-exist/index.md): Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched
- [Roles in a Group](https://ai.page/c/roles-in-a-group/index.md): Understand different roles people play in groups — leader, supporter, mediator, idea-generator — and recognise that effective groups need a mix of roles, not everyone trying to be the leader

## 3. Second Grade · Explain how people in communities manage, modify, and depend on their environment.

- [Your Impact on Others](https://ai.page/c/your-impact-on-others/index.md): Reflect on how your behaviour lands on others — consider not just what you intended but what the actual impact was on the other person

## 4. Second Grade · Ask questions and discuss ideas taken from primary and secondary sources.

- [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
- [Evidence from the Past](https://ai.page/c/evidence-from-the-past/index.md): Understand that everything we know about the past comes from evidence — objects, buildings, pictures, documents, and stories that have survived
