Goal: Pennsylvania academic standards: Social studies, Grade 3

## 1. United States History

- [Understanding People in Their Own Time](https://ai.page/c/understanding-people-in-their-own-time/index.md): Understand that people in the past saw the world very differently from us — judge their actions by the context they lived in, not only by today's values

## 2. Historical Analysis and Skills Development

- [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. Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship

- [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

## 4. Principles and Documents of Government

- [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

## 5. How Government Works

- [Taxes & Public Services](https://ai.page/c/taxes-and-public-services/index.md): What taxes are and why people pay them; how taxes fund schools, hospitals, roads, and emergency services; that governments decide how to spend tax money

## 6. Income, Profit, and Wealth

- [Banks & Saving](https://ai.page/c/banks-and-saving/index.md): What banks do and why people use them; bank accounts as safe places for money; that savings in a bank can earn interest; children's savings accounts
- [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

## 7. Markets and Economic Systems

- [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
- [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

## 8. Scarcity and Choice

- [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

## 9. Interactions Between People and the Environment

- [Your Impact on Others](https://ai.page/c/your-impact-on-others/index.md): Reflect on how your behaviour lands on others — consider not just what you intended but what the actual impact was on the other person

## 10. Money and Economic Institutions

- [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

## 11. Microeconomics

- [Costs & Revenue](https://ai.page/c/costs-and-revenue/index.md): It costs money to make things (costs/expenses); you earn money by selling them (revenue); if revenue is more than costs, that's profit; if costs are more, that's a loss

## 12. Fundamentals of Economics

- [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
