Fourth grade social studies zooms out from the neighborhood to the state and the nation. Aligned to the C3 Framework, these 4th grade social studies lessons cover state history through evidence-based claims about the past, the geography and cultures of US regions, the origins and purposes of laws and key constitutional provisions, and the benefits and costs of economic choices.

The decks treat students as junior historians and geographers: they weigh evidence, compare regions, and reason about why rules exist — the disciplinary thinking the C3 Framework is built on. Visuals and discussion prompts are laid out slide by slide, ready to present.

State history is the most local topic in the set, and the most worth customizing: open the lesson in Chalkie and center it on your own state's regions, events, and figures. Every lesson is free to view, and editing is included with a free account — present straight from the browser when you are ready.
