In the Classroom
Six ways to use it
Dollar change
Subtract the old price from the new price — a gain is positive, a loss is negative.
Percent change
Divide the change by the old price and multiply by 100 to get the percent change.
Positive & negative numbers
Gains and losses give students real practice with signed amounts.
Percent of a number
The percent change is the change expressed as a percent of the old price.
Reading a stock table
Old and new prices are exactly what students read from a real stock listing.

What It Teaches
Money skills students build
Stock price change is how investors measure a stock’s move: the dollar change (subtract) and the percent change (divide by the old price). Students work with gains and losses — positive and negative — on real-looking prices. The math is the same idea as return on investment, here in a stock-price frame. Pair it with the reading stock tables lesson for more practice.
- Find a dollar change (new − old)
- Find a percent change ((new − old) ÷ old × 100)
- Work with gains and losses (positive and negative)
- Express a change as a percent of the old price
- Read old and new prices like a stock table
