Goal: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills: Social studies, Grade 2

## 1. The student uses problem-solving and decision-making skills, working independently and with others. The student is expected to:

- [Stop, Think, Then Choose](https://ai.page/c/stop-think-then-choose/index.md): Use a simple decision-making process when faced with a choice — stopping to think, identifying the options, considering the consequences of each option, and then choosing — rather than acting impulsively
- [Vocabulary: working with others](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-working-with-others/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of working with others — cooperate, share, take turns, team, listen, agree, disagree respectfully, and include — and understand that these words describe habits that friendships and group work depend on

## 2. The student applies critical-thinking skills to organize and use information acquired from a variety of valid sources, including technology. The student is expected to:

- [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. The student understands characteristics of good citizenship as exemplified by historical figures and other individuals. The student is expected to:

- [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

## 4. The student understands the purpose of governments. The student is expected to:

- [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

## 5. The student understands the roles of producers and consumers in the production of goods and services. The student is expected to:

- [Supply Chains](https://ai.page/c/supply-chains/index.md): Where products come from before they reach the customer; raw materials, making, transporting, and selling; the journey of a product from start to finish
- [Who Is a Customer?](https://ai.page/c/who-is-a-customer/index.md): Understanding that a customer is someone who buys what you make or do; thinking about what customers want and need; the idea that businesses serve people
- [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

## 6. The student understands the value of work. The student is expected to:

- [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
- [Buying Things](https://ai.page/c/buying-things/index.md): How buying and selling works: prices, paying for items, receiving change; the basic transaction process in shops and markets

## 7. The student understands how humans use and modify the physical environment. The student is expected to:

- [Actions and Their Consequences](https://ai.page/c/actions-and-their-consequences/index.md): Understand that actions have consequences — that what you choose to do affects both yourself and other people — and begin to think about what might happen before they act
