Financial Literacy Project: Stocks on Your Birthday Student Project Financial Literacy students working

Financial Literacy classes began an investing unit where students explored a variety of ways to invest.  After learning about the ins and outs of the stock market, they were asked to hypothetically invest 100 shares in 5 different companies on their 10th birthday and see how their investment would have changed until today.  Students explored stock quotes from each year on their birthday and recorded in a spreadsheet the value of their stock, return on investment, and put their numbers into graph form.  Needless to say, many students were wishing their money wasn’t in fact hypothetical.
