In an effort to bring real-world investing experience into elementary
and secondary classrooms, educators in Ontario today have been searching out activities
that both engage and immerse students in financial realities. Many teachers are using
stock
market challenges to assist their students in understanding the principles of investment.
"Creating an Investment Portfolio" is a project-based co-operative unit
where students work in small groups to build and present an investment portfolio for
a fictional client. In order to achieve this goal, a series of lessons and activities
have been created to support both teachers and their students through each of the stages
of this learning process. Click on the link below to access all of the materials.
