Goal: Pennsylvania academic standards: Social studies, Grade 6

## 1. Income, Profit, and Wealth

- [Borrowing & Debt](https://ai.page/c/borrowing-and-debt/index.md): What borrowing money means; that loans must be repaid with interest; what credit is; why too much debt can be risky; responsible borrowing
- [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. Functions of Government

- [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
- [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

## 3. Historical Analysis and Skills Development

- [Evidence Versus Interpretation](https://ai.page/c/evidence-versus-interpretation/index.md): Distinguish between historical evidence and historical interpretation — evidence is what survived, interpretation is the argument a historian builds from it, and the same evidence can support different arguments

## 4. 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
