Teaching Math – A Must Read!

Years of Math
Instruction:  1950 – 2013

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
1950s:



1.  Teaching Math In 1950s

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 1960s

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 1970s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80.
Did he make a profit?


4. Teaching Math In 1980s

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 1990s

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
aliving?

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. Cuantdinero ha hecho?

7. Teaching Math In
2013
Who cares, just steal
the lumber from your rich neighbor’s property. He won’t have a gun to stop
you,

and the President says it’s OK anyway cuz it’s redistributing the wealth and
he does it every day.
