Project-Based Learning: The BUX Market Project Grade 9

Katherine Weber

This project’s aim was to join Grade 9 social studies, language arts and math in an authentic and engaging all-encompassing project. Students created a business to market and sell the same product in an open market to the rest of the school. The rest of the school population-teachers, students and support staff-had BUX (the Share Index of the Budapest Stock Exchange) to spend in the market.
