Through economics, students examine the relationship between costs and benefits. They develop an understanding of basic economic concepts; economics in history; how economics affects and is affected by the individual; cycles in the economy; financial institutions and government; and international economics and trade. The goal of economic education is to prepare students to make effective decisions as consumers, producers, savers, investors, and as citizens. Learning how to reason about economic issues is important also because the analytic approach of economics differs in key respects from approaches appropriate for other related subjects such as history, geography, and civics. Yet valid economic analysis helps us to master such subjects as well, providing effective ways to examine many of the why questions in history, politics, geography, business, and international relations.

Geography The real crux of geography is understanding our physical Earth and human environment interaction: knowing why people settle in an area, how they make their living and the resources they use, why they dress or speak the way they do, and what they do for entertainment.

US / NH History The study of New Hampshire and United States History is important in helping citizens understand and appreciate the legacy of our republic, and to develop the empathy and analytical skills needed to participate intelligently and responsibly in our ongoing democratic experiment. Historical study exposes students to the enduring themes and issues of our past and emboldens them to courageously and compassionately meet the contemporary challenges they will face as individuals in a state, a country and an interdependent world. Ultimately, the study of history will help students plan and implement responsible actions that support and enhance our collective values. An effective study of history must focus on broad themes, important concepts, major issues and significant movements, rather than a lengthy and fragmented list of people, places, events and other facts. The five standards below invite students to share in the excitement and relevance of the past and to envision a better future. SS:HI:1: Political Foundations and Development Students will demonstrate an understanding of the major ideas, issues and events pertaining to the history of governance in our state and nation.

World History The study of World History and Contemporary Issues is important in helping citizens understand and appreciate the contemporary challenges they will face as individuals in an interdependent, increasingly connected world. Knowledge of past achievements and failures of different peoples and nations provides citizens of the 21st century with a broader context within which to address the many issues facing our nation and the world. World History fosters an appreciation of the roots of our nation's values and the values and perspectives of other peoples. It illustrates how humans have expressed themselves in different surroundings and at different times, revealing the many commonalties and differences shared by the world's peoples past and present. The knowledge incorporated within the phrase "World History and Contemporary Issues" may be presented under a variety of course titles. Whatever the course, the most effective study will focus on important concepts, broad themes, major issues, and significant movements, rather than a lengthy and fragmented list of people, places, events and other facts. For students to fully participate in historical thinking and be prepared for life as decision making citizens, they must be able to draw upon ideas, issues and events from the full range of human experience?

Economics (EC:1) Economics is the study of the allocation and utilization of limited resources to meet society's unlimited needs and wants, including how goods and services are produced and distributed. Through economics, students examine the relationship between costs and benefits. They develop an understanding of basic economic concepts; economics in history; how economics affects and is affected by the individual; cycles in the economy; financial institutions and government; and international economics and trade. The goal of economic education is to prepare students to make effective decisions as consumers, producers, savers, investors, and as citizens. Learning how to reason about economic issues is important also because the analytic approach of economics differs in key respects from approaches appropriate for other related subjects such as history, geography, and civics. Yet valid economic analysis helps us to master such subjects as well, providing effective ways to examine many of the why questions in history, politics, geography, business, and international relations. SS:EC:1: Economics and the Individual Students will learn about their role in a free market, how decisions that they make affect the economy, and how changes in the economy can affect them.

Geography The real crux of geography is understanding our physical Earth and human environment interaction: knowing why people settle in an area, how they make their living and the resources they use, why they dress or speak the way they do, and what they do for entertainment. A geographically informed person can draw connections between locations of the Earth, recognize complex regional patterns, and appreciate the influence of place on human development. SS:GE:1: The World in Spatial Terms Students will demonstrate the ability to use maps, mental maps, globes, and other graphic tools and technologies to acquire, process, report, and analyze geographic information. SS:GE:4:1.1: Identify and describe the characteristics and purposes of geographic tools: maps, globes, graphs, diagrams, photographs, satellite produced images, and other technologies.
