A Critical Review of Learning from the Market: Integrating The Stock Market Game across the Curriculum

Abstract

Learning from the Market: Integrating The Stock Market Game across the Curriculum is a guide for teachers of economics, mathematics, social studies, and language arts in grades 4 to 12. The author believes that Learning from the Market suffers from errors of fact and omission that seriously detract from its usefulness as a guide to the stock market and the economy. He suggests corrections and alternative activities that will enable instructors to continue to use the guide in conjunction with ever-popular stock market simulations.

Key Words:

• games
• secondary schools
• stock market
