Are you new to Stock Market Game or need a refresher? The SIFMA Foundation's Stock Market Game™ (SMG) gives students in grades 4-12 the chance to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in an online portfolio. This hands-on professional development is designed to help educators teach SMG as a student-focused, 10-week online simulation.
This SMG workshop helps teachers implement a problem-based learning and real-world teaching tool that also facilitates implementation of STEM guidelines in math and technology. Students make decisions as they work in teams to create and manage an online $100,000 portfolio of stocks and mutual funds. Students engage in high levels of math, reading, writing, technology, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. NAEP study documents that students who use Stock Market Game have higher reading and math test scores.
