What It Teaches
Money skills students build
Reading a stock table is a real-world literacy skill: students pull prices and figures from a newspaper-style table and use them — looking up values, finding differences, working out buy/sell gains and losses, and computing the percent change. Pair this with the reading stock tables lesson and the buying stocks generator for more practice.
- Read a stock table (ticker, high, low, last, change)

Common Questions
Reading a Stock Table Worksheet FAQ
Do I need a membership to use this generator?
Yes — the generator is a full Money Instructor membership feature (the paid plan, not a free account). Full members can make and print unlimited worksheets with answer keys. The page itself is free to read.
What does the worksheet look like?
A stock market table (ticker, company, sales, high, low, last, change) followed by numbered questions students answer by reading the table. An optional answer key prints every answer.
What kinds of questions are on it?
Direct reads (high, low, last, change, ticker), differences (high − low), total shares traded, buy/sell gains and losses, whether a stock rose or fell, and the percent change.
Can I control the difficulty?
Yes. Level 1 is reads and simple differences; Level 2 adds multi-step buy/sell scenarios and the percent change. Choose how many stocks and questions appear.
Are the company names real?
No — the companies and prices are made up for practice, so the worksheet never shows real (or dated) stock data. The table works exactly like a real one.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Keep Include answer key on and the tool fills in every answer. Set Number of worksheets up to 5 for different versions.
