Get your students excited about learning! Using actual data from the stock markets, teams of students are given a hypothetical $100,000 to create and manage a portfolio of stocks and mutual funds. Before they know it, students are learning about financial markets such as the New York Stock Exchange, understanding the basics of personal investing and enhancing skills learned in math, reading, and technology.
The Stock Market Game has been used by teachers in grades four through twelve. The Stock Market Game is popular because it fits into many different disciplines and activities such as social studies, business education, and mathematics. Teachers can organize the simulation to fit their particular needs. The Stock Market Game can also be used as an extra-curricular activity.
This contest encourages teachers and students to learn about the economy while having fun doing it! The posters illustrate basic economic concepts identified in the Indiana Social Studies Standards, including Trade, Human Resources, Interdependence, Goods and Services (both in one poster), Entrepreneur, Consumers and Producers (both in one poster), Productivity and Opportunity Cost. The annual contest is open to students from second through eighth grade. Students are encouraged at an early age to understand these concepts through contests, curriculum and training made available through the Indiana Council for Economic Education. Posters are due in the ICEE office by April 15, 2012 to be included in the contest.
The 12 winning economic posters will appear in the ICEE Economic Concept Calendar, which will be published through the generosity of Printing Partners, Inc. of Indianapolis.
