Students enjoyed "buying stock" in their favorite companies. Good review of 7th grade standard on percent increase and decrease calculations.

Thank you for your review, Kassandra. What a bummer about stocks being blocked. If you’d like help brainstorming workaround ideas, my email is shana@scaffoldedmath.com. I also have a Facebook group to join called High School Consumer Math. Teachers in there may have ideas.
