This resource engages students in analyzing business pitch elements and investor preferences through the lens of the TV show 'Shark Tank.' The learning objective is to help students predict deal outcomes while applying key business math concepts like valuation, equity percentages, and return on investment (ROI). The game mechanics involve tracking pitch details, calculating key investment metrics, and making informed predictions based on investor profiles. Students will explore different Shark investors (such as Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner) and their preferences to better tailor business pitches. The material includes a comprehensive business math toolkit, pitch analysis worksheets, and opportunities for critical thinking and reflection on real-world applications of business and investment strategies. Additionally, students can participate in interactive competitions and track investor patterns to deepen their understanding of venture capital dynamics versus television pitches.
