Stock Game Teacher Packet

Welcome to the Florida Stock Market Challenge! This resource packet has everything you need to successfully use our Stock Game in your distance learning classes this semester!

The Basics – Logging In

If you haven’t already registered your class, click here to create your teacher account.

Once you have your account, you can log in directly at https://www.floridasms.com/ and click the login button in the top right corner.

Teachers and students use the same button to log in. If you want a link to share on your LMS, you can also take students directly to the login page:

https://www.floridasms.com/login

The only difference between your teacher account and a student account is that you have access to an “Instructor Administration” page, which lists your student usernames and passwords, and lets you change their usernames. As the teacher, you can also directly participate in the Budget Game!

When students log in, they are taken directly to the Stock Game.

Using The Stock Game In Your Classes

Lesson Plans

We have a full library of lesson plans that utilize the full Personal Finance Lab resource center, but if you’re using our Budget Game for the first time, here are the “cornerstone” plans.

Each lesson plan includes a glossary term review, articles and activities from our Learning Center to supplement each concept, and PowerPoint/Google Slide presentations you can use for direct instruction. If you’re getting started with the Stock Game, these are some of the highlights you might want to focus on:

Student Tutorials and Videos

We have a huge library of videos tutorials to get students started on the right foot. The tutorials are all “Built In” to the trading platform for students to complete as soon as they start, but feel free to share directly with your class too!
