Goal: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills: Social studies, Grade 5

## 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 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 the contributions of people of various racial, ethnic, and religious groups to the United States culture. 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

## 4. The student understands the importance of individual participation in the democratic process at the local, state, and national levels. The student is expected to:

- [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

## 5. The student understands patterns of work and economic activities in the United States. 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
