April is Financial Literacy Month, and we are celebrating with our 6th annual Spring Financial Literacy Challenge!
The April Financial Literacy Challenge is our annual free world-wide budgeting and investing competition open to all K-12 schools. Students will be challenged to build and maintain a budget for a simulated year – 6 months as a college student with a part-time job, and 6 months as a freshly-graduated full-time worker. As students play through the budgeting game, they have the opportunity to transfer some of their savings to their Stock Game brokerage account to build up an investment portfolio and compete in the investing portion of the challenge!
To help teachers get ready for the challenge, we are holding a kick-off webinar at on March 19, 2025 at 11am (Eastern Time)!
You can register to either join the webinar live, or request a recording by clicking here!
Remember – registration is open now and is completely free to enter!
We hope you are as excited as we are, because we have some major updates for your classes this Spring!
From financial math and calculators, to comparison shopping games, to bug fixes and improvements, stay tuned to see what we have in store for your spring classes!
If you want to learn more about these new features, watch our webinar here!
First up is our new Comparison Shopping Mini-Game. We call it a “mini-game” because it is a short game added to our Personal Budgeting Game. Students can practice their comparison shopping skills every weekend of the game by choosing “Household Chores”.
Next up, we have a major addition to our Financial Math Lesson Library – 6 new lessons covering everything from future value to vacation planning, and mortgage payments to logarithms!
By popular demand, we’ve added a new lesson on Accelerated Debt Repayment Strategies, featuring the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche approaches! This has been added to our “Credit” unit of our Personal Finance Curriculum Library.
Next, we’ve released 8 new and updated interactive financial calculators! This includes our new house payment calculator (combining a mortgage payment calculator with PMI, homeowner’s association, escrow, and more), a Rent vs Buy comparison, an updated Millionaire Calculator, and more!
Last but not least, we’ve released a major re-working of the budget game monthly sequence of play! Now students will create their monthly Savings Goals, choose what to do over the weekend, and complete the month as their own separate Events in the game, instead of tying into the “die roll” used to move forward through time. This will help ensure students monthly activities happen in sequence, with less confusion when many events might happen in a single roll.
We hope you are as excited for these updates as we were building them!
Happy Learning!

To celebrate the New Year, everyone here at PersonalFinanceLab is excited to announce our brand-new calculators, available now for all Personal Finance classes as part of our Financial Literacy Curriculum!
Each calculator was developed and released to be part of a lesson on financial literacy – this semester we focused mainly on compound interest, loans, and debt repayment.
Note: to preview each calculator, you will need to log into your PersonalFinanceLab teacher account. If you do not yet have an account, sign up for our Teacher Test Drive to try it out!
This was the first new calculator we released back in the Fall of 2024. This basic calculator shows how an investment grows over time, and even includes a breakdown of how different types of compounding impact how an investment will grow.
Our Saving to be a Millionaire calculator has been one of our most popular for almost 10 years – which is why this semester we released a huge update and modern version for classes!
The Millionaire Calculator asks students their current age, target age, how much they can afford to save each month, and how much they expect to earn on their investments. It then projects out into the future to see if they can reach a million dollars by their target age. If not, it provides suggestions (such as increasing your monthly savings, or targeting a higher rate of return) to try to help hit their goal.
Our Future Value Calculator is an addition to one of our new financial math lessons on – you guessed it – future value! This simple calculator shows students how much a potential investment will be in the future, including factoring in different types of compounding.
Our Mortgage Calculator is a feature in our new financial math lesson on Mortgage Math and Ratios, and shows students their amortized payment breakdown for the entire duration of a mortgage loan. Students can choose their home price, interest rate, down payment, and even mortgage term. What sets this calculator apart is that it even includes PMI as a factor in payments, until PMI is no longer required.
Our Payment Calculator is the first calculator we introduced as part of our Rent vs Buy financial math lesson. This calculator replicates the “PMT” function of common spreadsheet applications, but is supercharged specifically for mortgages by also including homeowner’s association, home maintenance costs, PMI, and escrow (property tax and homeowner’s insurance) payments into the combined function – giving students a much more accurate picture of how much monthly costs to truly expect when buying a home.
Our Equity Calculator is the second calculator we introduced as part of our Rent vs Buy financial math lesson. This calculator is used to illustrate to students how making regular payments on an amortized loan builds up equity over time – and that equity is an important factor in the final take-home cash when selling a home.
This is the final calculator we introduced as part of our Rent vs Buy financial math lesson. This calculator combines the detail of the Mortgage Payment Calculator, the equity built over time from our Equity Calculator, and uses Future Value calculations to project a person’s net worth if they were to rent (investing the cash they have available in down payment now) vs buy (using money saved from total mortgage payment being less than rent to invest in the future).
It then provides students with a clear projection of both scenarios based on their inputs (including how long until they next plan to move), and a clear “winner” for their own personal situation!
This calculator is a cornerstone of our new lesson on the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche accelerated debt repayment strategies. This calculator takes a set of existing debts (which may be amortized – like a car loan, or revolving – like a credit card), and applies both the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche repayment strategies to each, so students can visualize how their debt repayments might differ (including which is the cheapest total and which gets out of debt the fastest for their unique scenario).
We have new calculators (and updates to our old ones) coming throughout the Spring and Summer – we hope you are excited to use these in class as we were to build them!
Happy Learning!

We are excited as ever to announce the latest addition to our Personal Finance Curriculum Library – our interactive lesson on Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche!
Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche refers to two accelerated debt repayment techniques, which can save a person trying to get out of debt tens of thousands of dollars, and pay off their debts years faster than when making minimum payments. The concept works by taking a little extra cash each month, and paying off each debt one at a time. When each debt is paid off, that debt’s payment is “rolled” into the next debt as additional payments towards principle. So while your total monthly payments stay constant through the payment plan, debts get paid off faster and faster as time goes on.
The primary difference between “Debt Snowball” and “Debt Avalanche” is the order that you would pay off each debt – and you can read the full lesson to learn more!
Note: you will require a PersonalFinanceLab login to access this lesson. If you do not already have a teacher account, you can sign up for our Teacher Test Drive to access!
The best part of our latest lesson is that it includes an interactive calculator to visualize exactly how each debt is paid off, with each method – making it easy for students to see these payment plans in action!
The Debt Snowball and Avalanche lesson is just the latest addition to our Financial Literacy Resource Library, included with our stock and budgeting games for all classrooms! We hope your students take away the fact that powerful techniques exist to help them stay on top of their finances!
Happy Learning!

Financial math is more important than ever – and we are here to support teachers along the way! These new topics generally build on the more basic lessons in our personal finance curriculum library, with additional complexity and examples to make them at home in a class focusing on financial algebra.
This spring, we are dropping one of our most exciting content updates yet – with 6 new lessons focusing on topics in financial algebra. These topics include our lesson on Limits and Logs, Discretionary Expenses & Central Tendency, Planning a Vacation on a Budget, Future Value and Investment Returns, Mortgage Math and Ratios, and Rent vs Buy: Which Home is Right For You!
You can find more information on each lesson below. To view the lessons, you will need to be logged in with your PersonalFinanceLab teacher account, or sign up for our free Teacher Test Drive!
Our first lesson teaches students about creating a model featuring decreasing returns to scale by leveraging logarithms in a function, and jumping from logs to limits to show how even summing an infinite series can still have a maximum point.
This is done through the lens of understanding their own personal spending and saving preferences to answer the fundamental question: how much is a dollar tomorrow worth to you today?
This lesson is all about understanding mean, median, mode, and what a “skew” means for each. The lesson also incorporates histogram charts to show how “mode” measures can be applied in a wide range of comparisons, and is anchored in examples of a student trying to understand how their current spending habits compare to their peers – and what it means for their long-term savings goals.
This lesson is all about variables – independent, dependent, lurking. Then it jumps across into central tendency, all in the service of planning the perfect (and most affordable) vacation!
Students walk through comparing hotel and flight costs for 5 different cities, then jump into measuring “wish-list” food costs to establish a complete (and accurate) budget for the trip
This lesson is all about Future Value, and hammering home how the formula comes into play in a variety of lifetime financial decisions. The lesson starts with a basic reminder on compound interest, grows into examples with savings accounts, saving to buy a car, and finishes with showing how to use the Future Value formula to evaluate complex spending and saving decisions across multiple time horizons.
Our lesson on mortgage math and ratios focuses on all the math that goes into buying a home. We start out by talking about key affordability ratios (both how they are calculated and why they are important), and transition into down payments, bank risk & PMI, the nuts and bolts of amortization, refinancing, total profit (or loss) on the sale of a property, and pack it all in together with our advanced Mortgage Calculator, with dynamic graphs for students to easily visualize everything happening behind the scenes!
Our final new lesson talks about the complex decision of choosing to buy or rent. It walks through the Opportunity Cost of using a down payment towards another investment, factoring increases in rent and home ownership over time, walks through both future value and mortgage payment formulas (both long-form and spreadsheet formulas).
The lesson concludes with a one-of-a-kind calculator that takes a student’s inputs for two different properties (one rented and one buying), and shows the financial impact of both choices for as long as they intend to live in the home.
These new lessons are not just great for financial math – the inclusion of many integrated calculators makes them a great addition to every personal finance class! Stay tuned for our next update with even more resources for your class!
Happy Learning!

Knowing how to comparison shop for the best deal is a a fundamental skill for every consumer. Different package sizes, different perceived quality, and different prices can be confusing to navigate, especially for young people. This is why we are so excited to add our “Comparison Shopping” mini-game to our personal budgeting game!
The Comparison Shopping game launches as part of our Weekend Events, launching when the user chooses to take care of their Household Chores for the week.
This will take the user to the grocery store, where they need to stop in for 3 items on their shopping list. For each item on their list, they will see 3 alternatives, each with its own price, quantity, and quality score.
The challenge for students is to balance the Quality, Quantity, and Price for each of the alternatives to choose which option to buy.
After the user chooses all 3 items, they are taken to the “checkout” for their final score:
Two types of points are earned:
As some items will randomly go on-sale with each visit to the grocery store, the “best deal” might change from week to week – keeping users on their toes!
The Comparison Shopping game joins the Wealth Whiz Quiz in our new suite of mini-games to keep students engaged – and learning – as they play through the budgeting game! We hope your class has as much fun playing the game as we did building it!
If you want to try either of our mini-games, but your school does not yet have a license for PersonalFinanceLab, you can sign up for our Teacher Test Drive to give it a spin!
Happy Learning!

“I’ve been passionate about finance my entire life; I’ve been working in it in some fashion for 27 years,” Mason Renfer said at the beginning of our interview. He was nominated by his students and won the “Nominate Your Teacher” Award in the Fall 2024 Financial Literacy Challenge on PersonalFinanceLab.
During Covid, Mason made a major career change and took his background in banking and finance and moved into education. For the last year he’s been in his current position as the finance teacher at a Scottsdale District high school in Arizona.
“I loved working in education, and was working in the elementary school library when I started looking for something more in my area of expertise here at SUSD… It was the first job that popped up… and I thought you couldn’t ask for something more perfect.”
The classes he teaches at Scottsdale Unified fall under the career and technical education department. “They’re really big on group learning, hands-on learning, and giving students opportunities to learn through doing. I do a little bit of direct instruction for the units we’re covering, but I try to lead with probing questions to get them talking. Then, I pair them up or put them into groups to tackle some sort of project.”
He explained an example of when his class was learning about budgeting, each group tackled a different method. The more they learned, the more they became experts, and in the end the class launched into a debate as they argued which was the best method.
When Mason arrived at Scottsdale Unified, they already had a license for PersonalFinanceLab. He also has access to Everfi and uses Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF) for their starters, bell ringers and videos. He teaches two classes, a year-long personal finance course and another year-long business course. Ideally, students would start with the year-long personal finance course where they cover topics like:
“The first year (personal finance course), I think, benefits every single student. They’re going to need to know how to buy a house, how to budget, they’re going to need to know how to invest… The second year (business course) is a must for any student considering business school… They’re going to have first-hand experience when they get to some advanced fourth-year stuff. It’s not going to be new. They’re going to have a leg up over anyone that hasn’t done the simulations who hasn’t understood how to do it.”
“For my first-year students, I’m turning things on as we go. So, we set-up the Budget Game and we start with budgeting, and then when we get to investing, I’m going to do stocks, mutual funds, and bonds first. They will be able to trade just on the US exchange. Then, as we learn about some of the other things, I’ll unlock those. But I don’t want them getting in there too soon. They’re young and they’re excited, and I love that part of it, but I don’t want them to go and buy some crypto nobody’s heard of because they read about it on TikTok.”
This is one of the key features of PersonalFinanceLab that Mason has been taking advantage of. He is turning on and off different settings in the Budget and Stock Games as and when his students are ready to move onto it. He’s in complete control over what his students have access to. Giving him the chance to discuss social media investing and why it’s probably not the best place to get advice from before they start using that part of the platform.
For instance, when he gets his first-year students into the Stock Game in the latter half of the school year, he will get to explain the power of diversification, and then he will be able to turn on mutual funds and ETFs at the right time.
“For my second-year students, we start them out right away with investing, so they have a semester-long investing portfolio. They have to set-up a retirement portfolio and justify why they’re investing in them. This is my main goal, besides obviously teaching them all the state standards, the thing I really want them to understand and remember is the importance of investing when you get your first job… Put a certain amount of money away every paycheck.”
Mason has been able to have his first-year students in one class where they start with the Budget Game. Then in a separate class, his second-year students start with the Stock Game. He explained how his second-year students like, “being able to buy stuff and see it go up and down.”
He can hear his students talking to each other about their stock picks, saying things like, “I bought Eli Lilly and it’s up, what are you going to do?” He’s hoping that the more his students get to talk about their actions in the Stock and Budget Games it can help lower the stigma about talking about finances or money in general.
The major project for Mason’s second-year students is to build a retirement portfolio. His students need to put themselves in the shoes of somebody who’s retired and what they want their retirement to look like:
“The most positive thing that I’ve had so far is that students are having that Aha moment that money isn’t just something that you use to buy stuff. It’s something that you can use to help you even when you’re not paying attention, and that’s something I hope that they take for life. That they put money in, and they don’t have to worry about it. Then when they come back later, it’s going to be bigger, and it’s going to have grown…I love it because it’s not a game… it’s very realistic, and so I like that they have the ability to go in and trade. They’re learning the mechanics of trading.”
As students play the games, they’re learning to strike a balance between enjoying the present and planning for the future. By allocating their time and resources between personal fulfillment and long-term wealth building on PersonalFinancaLab, they’re gaining a valuable understanding of how to make intentional decisions that benefit their overall well-being.
“If they don’t have it, they’re set up for failure, and I’m just happy to see these types of classes being taught in high schools now before we send kids out into the real world.”
“Then the other part that we do, that I think is fantastic, is we teach them about day trading. I’m not a huge fan of day trading as a job, but I love the software because for several days, I allow them to day trade. I start with some headlines from the day, telling my students, ‘Here’s what happened,’ like when the Federal rates were starting to get lowered, ‘Here’s what’s hot in the headlines,’ then I would tell them, ‘Now go try to make money!“
Day trading is one of the features on PersonalFinanceLab that teachers like Mason can turn on or off at any time. So for the week they were doing day trading with his second-year students, he was able to unlocked everything. “I did margin trading, I did stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, cryptos…everything. Also, I unlocked every single market, and I just said, ‘Go nuts!”
“It would have never been possible to do that without PersonalFinanceLab… having that software to demonstrate real-world mechanics was fascinating, and I’m just so thankful that I have a license. Scottsdale Unified really went above and beyond by getting me a license for all my students and allowing them to do that. I was very, very, very happy about that.”
His students are getting to practice all the steps to making a trade. If they don’t want to pay more than $105 for a stock, they know they can put a limit order on it. “It’s no different then when you get to real money. So when these students open an account through Schwab, or they go through Vanguard or wherever they go, they’re not going to be lost, they’re going to go, “Oh yeah, buy stock, buy a mutual fund, buy an ETF, sell something, put a stop order on something else.”
“My favorite feature, just purely as a teacher, is the Admin tool, so that I can see what’s going on and make sure that they’re making decent choices. It’s very easy for me to keep track of it all.”
If his student has a question, he can use his admin account to pull up their portfolio, see what they’ve invested in, so he can provide detailed feedback. Like, “’Well, you know, you bought airlines, and you bought hotels…that is not very diversified. If the market moves, you have to…”
He’s able to find out in an instant where each student is at so he can provide them better instruction for how to continue learning about the financial markets.
“You just have to get in there on your own, create an account, and play around with it. I sat and did the Budget Game for a few months before I did anything. I was going through and rolling the dice and looking at what it was doing, and then I switched into the Stock Game, and I realized that if it was fun for me, and here I am as a 45-year-old who’s been buying stocks for 27 years… if I’m having fun playing this, these kids are going to have fun playing it. And if they’re having fun, as long as it’s not just fun, they’re going to learn from it more.”
He said that once you figure out how to work it into your curriculum, “It almost runs itself.” So if you’re teaching your students about budgets, start by talking to them about the different methods. Then he suggests having your students apply them as they play the Budget Game. So, when they set their savings goals at the beginning of the month (in the game), they can follow the Pay Yourself First method. Then another month they can try the 50/30/20 rule. Allowing students to do it themselves means they get practice transferring their money into savings and developing that habit even before getting their first jobs.
“I think it’s just that 100% of the kids learn better through doing. I can stand up here and talk to them about it… Direct instruction, I think, is huge. There’s a lot of knowledge that I’ve built over the years that I can pass to them, but it’s not the same as them doing.”
He described how his students can see the impact of putting some of their money away in the Budget Game and letting it grow. After a year or two in the simulation, they’re lifestyle is better, then they start investing in the Stock Game. He explained how it’s particularly helpful for younger students who haven’t had to deal with unexpected expenses like a leaky roof that needed repairing, or a car accident, “They haven’t had the experience yet, and so the next best thing is a simulation,” he said, “And I think PersonalFinanceLab nails it for those two things: savings and budgeting, and then investing. The rest is bonus, I mean, there’s so much more to it… but I do think those three things you got to learn through doing, and this is as close as we can get without giving them real money.”
“I think PersonalFinanceLab as a tool for the hands-on experience is helping our kids, whether they go direct to a career after high school, whether they go to trade school or whether they go into a four-year college. I think that this software is going to help every one of them, because they’re just going to be familiar when it’s real.”
Mason Renfer has already made an impact on his students, below are some of the responses his students sent into the PersonalFinanceLab team when asked why their teacher should be nominated for a prize.
I never understood credit or stocks until I came into this class. I think it really influenced my future. Seeing my grandma struggle to understand finances after her husband died made me realize I need to know how my money works. I know I will never regret signing up for this class.
Student Nomination from the Fall 2024 Financial Literacy Challenge
Mr. Renfer has allowed me to better understand all aspects of personal finance. I now understand credit, the stock market, loans, debt management, and so much more. He has done nothing but prepare me for the real world.
Student Nomination from the Fall 2024 Financial Literacy Challenge
Mr. Renfer has been an amazing teacher, introducing our class to eye opening topics. He is able to keep our class engaged and excited about the topics, and he is genuinely excited every day to teach us.
Student Nomination from the Fall 2024 Financial Literacy Challenge
Mr. Renfer is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is patient and will give anyone extra help if it means they’ll better understand finance. There isn’t a better candidate for this position.
Student Nomination from the Fall 2024 Financial Literacy Challenge
He was able to teach me and my class on how to set up our lives for the long term and how to keep our money safe.

The Fall semester is here, and boy do we have a huge set of updates for you!
This is a big one – teachers can now directly connect the Budgeting Game and Stock Games for their class with direct money transfers!
This update means that instead of starting off students with a lump-sum of cash in the stock game on one hand, and students earnings and saving in the budget game on the other hand, now the two games can work together hand-in-hand.
As students play through the budgeting game and build up their savings, classes with the “Combo” setting turned on will allow students to transfer money not just from Checking to Savings, but also to their Investing account, which becomes cash in their investing portfolio.
From there, students can invest that money in the Stock Game directly. So every student has full control over how much money they spend to improve their Quality of Life, how much they save in their Emergency Fund savings account, and how much to Invest for their long-term financial goals.
For teachers who are interested in the combo game, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Teachers can enable the Combined Game for their class during the class session setup process (if you already have your class set up and want to combine the games, please contact our support team).
Another enhancement to the budget game can be found on every paycheck!
Our previous paycheck system used a flat percentage tax for all students, regardless of their actual earnings each year. This last summer, we re-wrote our taxation engine to apply proper withholdings, taking account for standard deductions, tax brackets, and other standard withholdings – both for the US, and Canada!
We still have an input as part of the class creation process of what tax rate you want to apply for your class – going forward, this only impacts the State income tax, so please enter the income tax rate for your state.
Our lesson library got another update to our Math lessons – this time a new lesson on Compound Interest (with an awesome new video too)! You can view the complete new lesson by clicking here (note – login is required. If your school does not currently have a license for PersonalFinanceLab, you can sign up for our Free Teacher Test Drive!).
We are also excited to announce that all of our student tutorial videos showing how to interact with the platform have also been updated! These can be added as an Assignment to your class to help students get started too!
Also new for our Learning Center is a new Search function. A new search box has been added to the right column of all of our lessons:
The Search Box makes it easy for students to find lessons, glossary terms, videos, and more – even if you have not explicitly added them to your class as an Assignment.
The search function has a lot available for teachers too! Teachers searching will also find relevant user guides, lesson plans, presentation templates, and grading rubrics. These teacher resources only appear for teachers – not students!
Note: this new search functionality only applies when logged into the personalfinancelab platform. The “search” on the right side of this blog post will only search through the rest of our blog, not our entire lesson library.
Also for our reporting system, we have three updates to help teachers keep on top of their classes!
The new Overview Report allows teachers to see all the assignments they have set up in one class in one place, along with the dates and any rewards students will earn for the assignment completion.
Virtually every report teachers can access now has additional functionality to search or filter down to find any specific student. This will be a game-changer for large classes: no more wandering through pages and pages of students to find Little Timmy’s password reset!
There is also a new search bar added to the Assignment Creation screen. This search bar allows teachers to quickly find topics with a specific keyword that they want to include in any given assignment, instead of browsing the entire list.
In addition to our releases ahead of the school year, we have some very exciting improvements coming throughout the Fall semester too!
We are launching 4 new mini-games as part of the budget game – depending on how students choose to spend their weekends!
Our compound interest lesson is just the first of a new library of financial math lessons we will be rolling out throughout the Fall semester in our Math assignments library! Stay tuned and get excited for our next classes!
We are constantly rolling out small improvements, bug fixes, and updates to our existing lessons and activities – and this fall is no exception!
We are looking forward to serving your classes soon!

In each lesson plan we’ve included individual as well as group and full class activities with our most popular lessons having their own PowerPoint (or Google slides) presentations. Click the button below to view all our lesson plans.
Below, you’ll find links to each of the updated lesson plans, which can be downloaded as PDFs for easy access and sharing. Whether you’re a teacher, or parent, these resources are designed to help you teach students of all ages the skills they need to make informed financial decisions and achieve long-term financial stability.
On the cover page of each lesson plan, you’ll see what each activity includes. All links will take you either to a free online resource or to an activity or lesson on PersonalFinanceLab. If you do not have a site license, please contact our sales team to get a quote or to book a demo.
Certain activities include printable worksheets that you can distribute to your class, along with answer keys (where applicable). With these activities you can easily grade student participation and tie in the Budget Game and Stock Game into the rest of your learning materials.
In the Needs and Wants lesson plan, there is an individual activity that gets students to classify 10 items in their bedroom as either a need or a want. They’ll be asked to compare the cost of this item against an alternative to see whether the item they own is good value for money.
Does your school need engaging financial literacy activities to teach students how to manage their money responsibly? PersonalFinanceLab can be used as either a one-stop shop or as a supplemental activity to your other learning materials. With this latest update, you’ll have a seamless way to reinforce the concepts learned through our interactive games. Allowing students to build a strong foundation in personal finance that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Learning about the stock market can be tricky for students, especially when they are just starting to understand the concepts of sectors and industries. Finding stocks to build a diversified portfolio can feel overwhelming. To help, we’re excited to introduce PersonalFinanceLab’s newest feature: Stocks by Sector.
Stocks by Sector is an easy-to-use tool that helps students find stocks in different industries. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by too many choices, students can now focus on specific sectors to learn more about them and find good investment opportunities.
With Stocks by Sector, students can:
This tool makes it simple for students to understand how different industries work and find stocks that interest them.
One of the best ways to use Stocks by Sector is with our Stock Comparison Tool. Here’s how:
Teachers can include Stocks by Sector in their lessons, using it with the Stock Comparison Tool to give students a complete research experience. This helps students learn how to analyze the market and make smart investment choices.
Teachers can try out our Sector and Industry Explorer and Stock Comparison Tool. Note – you must have a PersonalFinanceLab account to view. If you are not already signed up for PersonalFinanceLab, feel free to try it out with our Teacher Test Drive!
