## 1. Kindergarten: Foundations of Social Studies

- [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
- [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
- [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

## 2. History

- [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. Economics

- [Fair Trade & Ethics](https://ai.page/c/fair-trade-and-ethics/index.md): Where products come from and who makes them; that people around the world produce what we buy; fair pay for workers; making ethical choices as consumers
- [What Money Is](https://ai.page/c/what-money-is/index.md): What money is and why we use it; that money is exchanged for goods and services; brief history from barter to coins to digital payments
- [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

## 4. Citizenship and Government

- [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
