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.
When the leaves begin to change, you know its time for Econ Camp. In 2010, Econ Camp will be offered at Camp Tecumseh near Brookston, IN. High school teachers of economics come together to network and interact with their peers, get up-to-date economic education training, and share best practices with each other. Thanks to the generous sponsors such as the George and Frances Ball Foundation, Purdue Agricultural Economics, the ICEE has been able to offer this opportunity at no cost to the teachers!
