How It Works
Create A Stock Game
First, set up a stock market game for your class. You can pick all the settings, like what they can trade, how they need to diversify, and the window for the trading dates.
Choose Your Curriculum
Build “Assignments” by picking lessons from our library of over 300 activities. Mix and match depending on what you’re teaching in class – each assignment has its own start and due dates.
Rankings Keep Students Engaged
Class rankings might not seem like much at first, but this is a proven way to get – and keep – your students’ attention. As they build their portfolio, they also complete your assignments and track their progress!
Match Your Class To The Real World
Students need to take notes every time they make a trade – letting you match their trading diary with the topics covered in class. This helps students connect your class to the world around them.
Integrates With Technology
Integrate directly with LCD screens and tickers – an amazing way to combine technology and curriculum to transform your classroom into the most popular room at the school!
