Two families moved from Afghanistan to America.

When they arrived, the two fathers made a bet. 

In a year’s time, whichever family had become more Americanized would win.

A year later they met.
 
The first man said, “My son is playing baseball, I had McDonald’s for breakfast and I’m on my way to pick up a case of Bud…. how about you?”
 
The second man replied, “Fuk u, towel head.”

Fifty Years of Math 1959 - 2009

 Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters , but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950’s: 
 
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. )

 

 
6.. Teaching Math In 2009
  Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
