The Stock Market Game™ Celebrates 20 Years in Illinois!
The Stock Market Game™ program is an online education program used in thousands of classrooms nationwide to help teach math, social studies, business, economics and language skills while focusing on the importance of long-term savings and investment. In Illinois, the SMG program has engaged over 425,000 students since it was introduced in 1988. In school year 07-08, over 35,000 Illinois students participated in this multi-curricular learning program!
Students in grades 4-12 participate in teams and manage a simulated investment portfolio during ten to fifteen weeks of the school year. Teachers access grade- and subject-specific lesson plans, activities, newsletters and tutorials for classroom instruction.
SMG lessons and activities are available in four mastery levels and four different grade divisions. Thus, the same students can increase learning by being involved in the SMG more than once - two different semesters of the same year, or two or more years in school.
Teachers new to the SMG program should visit the SMG's public website at www.stockmarketgame.org for complete information on the program and to see a demonstration of how it works.
Returning teachers can go to the shortcut address for the Illinois information pages of SMG at: http://illinois.smgww.org. Here, the visitor will find the most up-to-date information on the SMG in Illinois - game dates, rules, teacher training, newspaper subscriptions, awards and sponsorships.
