Students work in teams of five players to interactively research their stock selections.
Teams enter their transactions and can access their portfolios highlighting their current holdings, brokerage commissions, margin interest and team ranking. After ten weeks of play the winning team is the one that has increased the market value of their portfolio by the greatest amount. In order to help students understand how the market works we invite guest speakers, we watch various business talk shows, and we perform skits. We also receive Newsday everyday and we read any relevant articles we come across. RCCP Many teachers at Number Five School have been trained in the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program.
