Ready-to-run lesson plans, classroom games, and assessment rubrics for StockSt — organized by grade band, with links to student Learn lessons.
StockSt uses fictional currency and simulated shares for education only. This is not investment advice.
Design principles
- No real securities or advice: every celebrity share is a simulated, fictional asset, and lessons should repeatedly distinguish the simulation from real investing.
- Privacy-safe by default: use classroom-generated usernames and never require real names, emails, photos, or precise locations from students.
- Clear progression: elementary focuses on ownership, saving, and cause-and-effect; middle school adds research, volatility, and diversification; high school adds valuation, portfolio strategy, behavioral bias, and risk management.
- Standards-friendly: the lessons align broadly with Jump$tart/CEE K-12 personal-finance standards, especially the Saving and Investing strand (investing for goals, evaluating alternatives, risk and return, and buying and selling investments).
- Practice without consequences: financial simulations let students make investing decisions and see the results without risking real money.
- Reward process over luck: score reasoning, research, risk control, and reflection, not only the final portfolio balance.
