This curriculum was developed for fifth and sixth grade students, but may be modified for other levels as well. The New Standards included are for Middle School Grades 5-8 and the technology standards are listed for grades 3-8.

The plan is for these lessons to be taught in sequence, but it is not totally necessary. It is possible for the WebQuest to be assigned during the Stock Market Game. It is also possible to begin another game afterward, using the experience of the first one and the information from the WebQuest for greater success. The curriculum may be used in whole, in part, or just as a resource. However you might use it, we hope it will be beneficial.
