Goal: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills: Social studies, Grade 3

## 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

## 2. The student understands ethnic and/or cultural celebrations of the local community and other communities. The student is expected to:

- [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

## 3. The student understands characteristics of good citizenship as exemplified by historical and contemporary figures and organizations. 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 concept of the free enterprise system and how businesses operate in the U.S. free enterprise system. The student is expected to:

- [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

## 5. The student understands the purposes of earning, spending, saving, and donating money. The student is expected to:

- [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
- [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

## 6. The student understands how humans adapt to and/or modify the physical environment. The student is expected to:

- [Similarities & Differences](https://ai.page/c/similarities-and-differences/index.md): Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting

## 7. The student understands common characteristics of communities, past and present. The student is expected to:

- [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

## 8. The student understands how individuals, events, and ideas have influenced the history of various communities. The student is expected to:

- [Culture and Experience Shape Emotions](https://ai.page/c/culture-and-experience-shape-emotions/index.md): Understand that emotional responses are shaped by personal experiences, culture, and context — the same situation triggers different emotions in different people because of their backgrounds and past experiences
