Museum of American Finance & Educational Workshops

This evolving museum contains informative exhibits related to all areas of finance including trading, market fluctuations, a history of money and more. Whilst visiting the Museum, along with a guided tour, your students can take part in 45-60 minute workshops taught in the education centre by museum educators and industry experts including;

Banking in America - This classroom lesson, based on the Museum's "Banking in America" Exhibit, will help students understand why banks today are safe places to deposit money, how banks earn profits, why banks are important to the overall US economy and what role the Federal Reserve plays in our banking system.

Financial Markets 1 - This 45-minute introductory class covers the capital markets from ancient trade through the present, including stock, bond and commodity markets. In this class, students will learn about trade and why countries participate in it, understand that both parties gain from trade, understand how trade has influenced development, and be able to identify different types of markets. 

How to Analyse a Stock - This classroom lesson will teach students who are new to investigating how to analyse a stock. Upon completion, students will have a basic understanding of stocks and the stock market, as well as the ability to go beyond beginner techniques used to pick stocks. By learning the P/E (Price/Earnings) and PEG (Price/Earning/Growth) ratios, students will learn the basics of how to apply research data in determining if a stock price is considered "fair."

Your Money and Your Success - This course demonstrates to students why being financially savvy helps them gain a competitive advantage in the workplace and in life. Topics include practical information about banking, budgeting, credit and building financial disciplines that prepare young people for managing their money as they enter the working world.

Other popular options include:

• Finance Changes China
• History of Derivatives
• Money: A History
• Open Outcry: Trading Then and Now
• Secret Life of Money

Financial Crisis Tour

The economic collapse of 2008 was the most devastating shock suffered by the financial sector since the Great Depression. The effects of the recession were felt worldwide, yet the reasons behind it are still shaded in mystery. What mistakes lead to the collapse of some of the longest and most enduring financial institutions in America? And how can we avoid the same missteps in the future?

In these 2 hours, you will learn about and hold a CDO NYSE and visit: Wall Street; Federal Hall; House of Morgan; Mercantile Exchange; Cotton Exchange; Deutsche Bank; Lehman Brothers; Goldman Sachs; AIG; Standard & Poor’s; Charging Bull; Bowling Green; Canyon of Heroes; Trinity Church American Stock Exchange; Federal Reserve.

Museum of Maths (MoMath)

• View on Map

Visit the National Museum of Mathematics and discover a side of ‘math’ you've never seen before. On a maths trip to New York, groups across Key Stage 3-5 will all appreciate exploring the amazing exhibits and taking part in inspiring educational sessions. MoMath — the coolest thing that ever happened to maths!

The educational sessions require pre-booking and include:

Topology

• Möbius Madness (KS3): Hands-on activities lead students to discover the surprising properties hidden around every twist and turn!
• Topological Tic-Tac-Toe (KS3-5): The familiar game of tic-tac-toe is made fun and challenging as students encounter the surprises delivered by some geometry and topology.

Knot Theory

• Tied in Knot Theory (KS3-4): Students are introduced to the mathematical theory of knots through group activities that have them making human knots with their own bodies! 
• Not the Unknot (KS3-5): This hands-on activity will teach students how to compute unknotting numbers by undoing basic knots made out of themselves!
• Stick Knots (KS3-5): Using wooden sticks, students will work in groups to learn how to construct knots and compute their “stick numbers.”

Cryptography

• The Secrets of Telling Secrets (KS3-5): Working with their classmates, students practice making and breaking different ciphers.
• Keeping Secrets in Public (KS5): Students are introduced to public key cryptography, which allows the public to encrypt but not decrypt, and only gives select individuals the decryption key. Using arithmetic and network graphs, students will explore this complex and fun type of secret-keeping!

Graph Theory

• From Prussia, with Math! (KS3-5): Working with their classmates, they will discover the mathematics of constructing paths on graphs, encountering both classical problems as well as problems that remain unsolved today!
• Graphs of the Rainbow (KS3-5): Working in small groups, students learn the many shades of graph colouring problems, including how to use graphs to colour a map so that no two regions that share a border have the same colour.
•  Graph Games (KS4-5): Various competitive and cooperative games are played on graphs, introducing students to some of the methods that mathematicians use to study the fundamental structure and characteristics of graphs.

Probability

• Crazy Dice (KS3-5): Once students find the probability of rolling a given sum with a pair of standard dice, they are challenged with finding a different way to number their dice to get the same probabilities. Crazy!
• Evening the Odds (KS3-5): The probability of rolling different sums with a standard pair of dice depends upon the sum in question. This activity guides students to find ways to renumber their dice so every sum appears with the same probability. But then, what sums are possible to fit into this scheme?
• Crazier Dice (KS3-5): Students work together first to understand the probabilities encountered when rolling eight-sided dice, and then to find alternative ways to number these octahedral dice without changing those probabilities.
