Amazing Teaching Moment
In my Financial Algebra class we focus on the mathematical connections in Finance and Business. I cover a unit on the Stock Market where student learn how to trade stocks. Students are placed in teams and participate in virtual stock market through www.stockmarketgame.org. In this virtual stock market student use one hundred thousand dollars of virtual money to buy and sell stocks. In teams, students research companies, markets, industries and current events to determine if and when to buy stocks in a company or sell stocks for a company. Students look at the history of the company, stock price history and any current news events regarding the company. Students then present their stock portfolio in class and also compete online with other high school teams in the state. Student receive real time feedback on their profits and losses which serves as tool so students can make adjustments to their portfolio. Using this virtual platform gave students an opportunity to play and gain experience making money from their investments.
