Appeal NIE Tweets

Teachers, participate in the Spring 2010 Stock Market Game

The Stock Market Game teaches students to think and how to make decisions based on world events. In studying the economy, they'll learn skills in the areas of math, social studies, economics, life skills, business education, and technology. The Commercial Appeal's Stock Market Game involves teams of two to five students in grades 4-12 who invest a hypothetical $100,000 in the New York and American Stock Exchanges, and the NASDAQ. Each week, the excitement builds as teams receive portfolio value updates that show how they're doing compared with other teams at their grade level.
