1 Identifying Ticker Symbols and Interpreting Stock Quotes Lesson Summary Identifying Ticker Symbols and Interpreting Stock Quotes helps students to understand and locate ticker symbols in order to trade stock. Lesson Objectives Determine how to look up a ticker symbol. Analyze a stock table to understand important elements such as dividends and P/E ratios. Gather data from both print and internet sources. Enter a trade in The Stock Market Game portfolio. Demonstrate the ability to use each of the following terms: share or stock, dividend, P/E ratio, volume or sales, net change. NCTM Standards 1A - Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems. 5A - Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them. 5B - Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data. 5C - Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data. 5D - Understand and apply basic concepts of probability. 6A - Build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving. 6C - Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems. 8A - Organize and consolidate mathematical thinking through communication. 8B - Communicate mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others. 9C - Recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics. 10A - Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas. Mathematical Strands Thinking Algebraically Interpreting Statistics Communicating Quantitative Information Tackling Complex Problems Students sharpen their estimation skills by estimating the product of large numbers and then checking their answers. Students also round to the nearest cent. Students interpret graphs and make decisions based on the information presented. Students graph, choose scales, and make informed decisions based on trends and their knowledge of the market. Students calculate and track the value of a sample SMG portfolio, including commissions. 14
2 THINKING ALGEBRAICALLY You need to be good at estimating when you are working with stocks because you are working with so many decimals. Let s practice estimating with the buy orders in the tables below. First, write your estimated price per share and then your estimated number of shares. Next, write your best estimate for the total cost. At the end, go back and figure out how close your estimate is to the actual value. (An example is done for you.) Price p er Share # of Shares Estimated What s the A ctual Total Total Difference? Estimate Estimate $48.75 $ $1 0,000 $ $ $ $ ,041 $ $ ,051 $ ,978 $ $ $ $ $ $
3 THINKING ALGEBRAICALLY Closing prices of stocks are often reported with four decimal places. Though a tenth or a hundredth of a cent might not seem like much, if you own millions of stocks, those fractions of a penny really matter! Practice rounding the decimals below to the nearest hundredth. $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
