Oklahoma Social Studies K.P.2.4

K.P.2.4 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• K.P.2.4.A

  Collaboratively gather simple economic data from graphs.

• K.P.2.4.B

  Identify needs and wants, including the concept of freedom of choice.

• K.P.2.4.C

  Identify examples of the goods and services that school and community workers provide.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students tell the difference between things people need and things they want. They name goods and services provided by school and community workers. With a partner, they use a picture graph to compare what classmates chose.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student calls food a need and a toy a want. They explain that a school cook prepares meals, while the meal is a good. They count the pictures on a class graph and say which choice got more votes.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may call a toy a need because they really want it. They may call the cook's work a good instead of a service. On a picture graph, they may point to the tallest row without counting the pictures.

04

How to Assess It

Show a picture graph with three votes for apples and two for crackers. Ask, "Which snack did more children choose? Is a toy a need or a want? What service does a school cook provide?"

1. 01

   Set up a classroom store with paper apples and toy cars; children choose one item and place its picture under need or want.

2. 02

   Ask, "If two stores sell bread, which would you choose, and why?" Write two children's reasons on the board.

3. 03

   Have children vote for an apple or banana card, add one sticker per vote to a picture graph, then compare totals.

4. 04

   Show photos of markets in your town, another state, and another country; children name one good shoppers can choose in each.
