Goal: New Mexico academic standards: Social studies, Grade 6

## 1. Sixth Grade · Human-Environmental Interactions and Sustainability

- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work

## 2. Sixth Grade · Economic Decision Making

- [Global Trade](https://ai.page/c/global-trade/index.md): Why countries trade with each other; imports and exports; how goods travel around the world; that different countries use different currencies

## 3. Sixth Grade · Diversity and Identity

- [Prejudice and Discrimination](https://ai.page/c/prejudice-and-discrimination/index.md): Understand the impact of prejudice and discrimination on individuals and communities — that treating people unfairly because of their identity causes real harm — and recognise their own responsibility to stand against it

## 4. Sixth Grade · Historical Change, Continuity, Context, and Reconciliation

- [Crime & Punishment](https://ai.page/c/crime-and-punishment/index.md): How justice worked in medieval times: trial by ordeal, trial by combat, the role of the sheriff; punishments including stocks, pillory, and dungeons; how different it was from modern justice
- [Greek and Roman Legacy Today](https://ai.page/c/greek-and-roman-legacy-today/index.md): Evaluate the lasting contributions of Greek and Roman civilisations to modern life — democracy, law, language (Latin roots), architecture (columns, arches, domes), sport (Olympics), philosophy, literature, and theatre — and understand that Greek ideas reached us through Rome, and then through later European civilisations, in a chain of cultural transmission

## 5. Sixth Grade · Roles and Responsibilities of a Civic Life

- [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

## 6. Sixth Grade · Take Informed Action

- [Identity and Belonging in Adolescence](https://ai.page/c/identity-and-belonging-in-adolescence/index.md): Understand that adolescence involves active construction of identity, leading to emotional complexity around questions of 'who am I?'; explore the emotional dynamics of belonging to multiple groups simultaneously (family, peer group, cultural or religious identity); understand social comparison and its intensification through social media; recognise that identity is not fixed and that uncertainty about identity is normal, not a sign of failure; develop language for navigating emotions tied to group membership and personal values
