Fifth Grade Social Studies Standards addressed:

5.3.10 Read fiction and nonfiction stories about how American Indians and European settlers lived in early America and find examples of the various ways people adapted to and changed the environment.

5.4.2 Summarize a market economy and give examples of how the colonial and early American economy exhibited these characteristics.

5.5.1 Describe basic needs that individuals have in order to survive — such as the need for food, water, shelter, and safety — and give examples of how people in early America adapted* to meet basic needs.
Example: American Indian groups and early European settlers developed housing, clothing styles, and materials depending upon what was available in the local environment. Living and working in groups made it easier to build houses, hunt, and grow food for crops. People also live in groups today to meet basic and other needs.
