A middle school teacher in Brooklyn, New York, is helping his students learn about the stock market and investing through a financial literacy class. Raymond Tran, who teaches at IS 281, told FOX Business’ Gerri Willis that his students are gaining financial literacy skills by playing the "Stock Market Game." "In there, students break up into groups. They have $100,000 in virtual money to buy stocks, bonds and mutual funds," he explained.

The "Stock Market Game" was brought to Tran’s students through the SIFMA Foundation, a nonprofit that "provides financial education programs and tools that strengthen economic opportunity across communities and increase individuals’ awareness of and access to the benefits of the global marketplace," according to its website. More than 600,000 students play the "Stock Market Game" each year.
