    Can you follow the math?

    Fifty Years of Math 1957 - 2007
    1. Teaching Math In 1950's
    A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
    2. Teaching Math In 1960's
    A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
    3. Teaching Math In 1970's
    A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
    4. Teaching Math In 1980's
    A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
    5. Teaching Math In 1990's
    A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok.)

      It won't hit as hard with those of you not here in the US, unless you change the last line to an appropriate language!!

              If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys. Orson Wells
