The Texas Council on Economic Education is thrilled to announce that 5, 836 teams made up of just over 22,300 students are participating across the state this fall in this exciting online investment simulation. Students from grades 4 through 12 develop personal finance skills related to savings and investing as they learn & apply academic skills in economics, math, language arts and technology. An online Teacher Support Center and teacher training make it easy for teachers to implement the program in their classroom.
One SMG teacher expressed, “Playing the SMG last year was great fun for my classes and me! I feel that my students learned so much, and I know I did. After 34 years of teaching, it was nice to be excited about something new.”
The SMG includes a competition that awards prizes to the top performing teams. The Fall session runs from September 28 through December 4, 2009. The next session runs from February 8 through April 16, 2010. Teacher training for the Spring competition will be offered in January. The SMG is available to all Texas teachers and students in grades 4 through 12 at no cost in most areas. Team fees are covered by generous regional sponsors. Check with Debbie Mackey to check eligibility for your school.
