Students will create a stock market portfolio and keep track of the records over a two week period. During the process, students will keep track of the stock and the price per share for each day. At the end of the two week time frame, students will create a powerpoint presentation and an audio recording discussing their portfolio in how they started and how their stocks ended at the end, what they learned about investing in the stock market (e.g. trends), and how they would potentially use the information when they get older.

In this Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum activity, students build spreadsheets to study the effect of compound interest on accounts into which they deposit savings. They build a spreadsheet to examine the two basic cases: the future value of a single deposit, and the future value of an annuity. In both, they use the mathematical equation for future value to do the calculation, not the buiilt-in Excel function. The intention is for the students to see and work with the underlying mathematics. They apply their spreadsheets to a variety of problems, including the following question: For a given interest rate, how much does one need to deposit every year to accumulate two million dollars in the account at the time of retirement?
