Remember: A stock is a tiny piece of a business. Owners share what the business earns, in good weeks and quiet weeks.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Mia's lemonade standMia sold lemonade from a little stand. She dreamed of a bigger stand, but it cost more pretend coins than she had. Her friends Sam, Leo and Ana wanted to help. "Think of a pizza!" said Mia. Five straight cuts make ten equal slices, so Mia cut her stand into ten equal pieces in her notebook. Mia kept four pieces. Sam took three, Leo took two and Ana took one. The new stand opened. In a sunny week it earned twenty coins, and the ten pieces shared them, so each piece got two coins. In a rainy week it earned ten coins, so each piece got one. A stock is a tiny piece of a business.
