Teacher's field guide
What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students name things people use, such as pencils, apples, and shoes. They tell how people use each one.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can pick out a pencil, an apple, and shoes from a set of pictures. They can say what each one is used for.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students name only toys and miss goods like food and clothes. Others call a haircut a good because someone pays for it.
How to Assess It
- Show pictures of a pencil, an apple, and a barber cutting hair. Ask, “Which pictures show goods? How do people use them?”
