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

Goal: Massachusetts academic standards: Social studies, Kindergarten

## 1. Civics · classroom citizenship

- [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
- [Vocabulary: ethics and citizenship](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-ethics-and-citizenship/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of ethics and citizenship — bullying, cyberbullying, bystander, upstander, peer pressure, digital citizenship, rights, responsibility, and ethical — and understand the distinctions between these closely related terms

## 2. History · shared traditions

- [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

## 3. History · Chronology and Time

- [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

## 4. Economics · work and commerce

- [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
- [Buying Things](https://ai.page/c/buying-things/index.md): How buying and selling works: prices, paying for items, receiving change; the basic transaction process in shops and markets

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

- [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

## 6. Speaking and Listening · 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

## 7. History and Social Science · Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas

- [Different Accounts of the Same Event](https://ai.page/c/different-accounts-of-the-same-event/index.md): Recognise that different people can give different accounts of the same event — and that both can be genuine while still disagreeing
