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

Goal: Ohio academic standards: Social studies, Grade 6

## 1. Economics

- [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
- [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

## 2. Government

- [Checking Sources Against Each Other](https://ai.page/c/checking-sources-against-each-other/index.md): Corroborate: check whether multiple sources agree on the same facts — and investigate why they might not

## 3. History

- [Ancient Egypt's Lasting Legacy](https://ai.page/c/ancient-egypt-s-lasting-legacy/index.md): Evaluate ancient Egypt's lasting legacy: the Egyptians developed early forms of medicine, mathematics (used to build pyramids and survey land after floods), astronomy (calendar based on star observations), and engineering that influenced later civilisations including Greece and Rome — and compare ancient Egypt with other early civilisations (Mesopotamia, Indus Valley, Shang Dynasty) to identify shared features like writing, agriculture, cities, and organised religion

## 4. Financial Literacy

- [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

## 5. Economic Decision-Making and Skills

- [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

## 6. Civic Participation and Skills

- [Giving and Receiving Feedback](https://ai.page/c/giving-and-receiving-feedback/index.md): Give and receive constructive feedback — telling someone what they did well and what could be improved in a way that is helpful rather than hurtful, and receiving feedback about their own work without becoming defensive

## 7. Human Systems

- [The world contains many cultures, traditions](https://ai.page/c/the-world-contains-many-cultures-traditions/index.md): Understand that the world contains many cultures, traditions, and belief systems, and that learning about others' perspectives enriches our own understanding — developing genuine curiosity about and respect for cultural diversity
