Stock Market Game at Yorktown Elementary

There are more than 240 teams in the state of Virginia playing the Stock Market Game and Yorktown Elementary Math Science Technology Magnet School has two teams in the Top Ten. Mrs. Kirsten McLeod, Math Resource Teacher, reports that both teams are from Mrs. Reilly’s fourth grade classroom. The “game” gives students the chance to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in an on-line portfolio. Students work together in teams to select companies in which to invest, teaching them collaboration and financial skills.
