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

Goal: Massachusetts academic standards: Social studies, Grade 2

## 1. Geography · Reading and making maps

- [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

## 2. Economics · Resources

- [Jobs People Do](https://ai.page/c/jobs-people-do/index.md): Different kinds of work people do; that people earn money by working; how jobs help the community; linking personal interests to possible jobs
- [Earning Money](https://ai.page/c/earning-money/index.md): Ways that children and adults earn money; the connection between work, skills and pay; that harder or more skilled work often pays more

## 3. Economics · Buying Goods and Services

- [Goods & Services](https://ai.page/c/goods-and-services/index.md): Some people make things (goods) and some people do things for others (services); recognising both in everyday life and understanding that both have value
- [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

## 4. Economics · Saving

- [Saving Money](https://ai.page/c/saving-money/index.md): Why people save money; piggy banks and saving jars; setting a savings goal; the idea that not spending now means having more later

## 5. Writing Standards · Research to Build and Present Knowledge

- [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

## 6. Speaking and Listening Standards · Comprehension and Collaboration

- [Vocabulary: working with others](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-working-with-others/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of working with others — cooperate, share, take turns, team, listen, agree, disagree respectfully, and include — and understand that these words describe habits that friendships and group work depend on
- [Listening to Others](https://ai.page/c/listening-to-others/index.md): Listen to others when they are speaking — looking at the speaker, waiting until they finish, and showing they have heard by responding to what was said rather than just talking about their own ideas
