TEACHING STOCKS, THE STOCK MARKET, AND INVESTING

Stock market simulation lesson plan for teaching stocks

Want to teach or learn about stocks?  Use our step by step lessons to teach and learn with your own stock market simulation. Meanwhile, you will be reinforcing basic math and learning about stocks, and how the economy works.  Math skills include percentages, graphing, rounding, fractions, calculator skills, and more.  Also reinforce checking skills, budgeting, and money management skills.

What is wrong with traditional stock market simulations?

Many stock market simulation's often have contests based on who has the most money at the end of the exercise.  This is unfortunate, since it actually teaches bad investment practices.

We encourage good investment processes and basic learning skills.   Our only interest is to help you and your students learn about stocks, investing, the economy, while reinforcing basic skills.

Lessons include lesson plans and learning worksheets.  Lessons are customizable to many age groups, including primary education, secondary education, and adults.

Lessons can be used for teaching a stock market simulation or for teaching stock investing basics.  Here we have organized our material and set up a basic market simulation lesson plan for teaching about stocks and the stock market.

No background on investing is necessary. Also, we are here to help and answer your questions!

Note -- We are not here to give you specific investment advice.  This is an educational site for investment education to help you understand stocks and investing so you can teach and learn about the market and the economic system and learn how to make better investment decisions yourself.
