Years of Math 1950 - 2010 


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 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 madera para $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?                  

  
   7. Teaching Math In 2010


   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.

Only Cousin Carol!

This is information no decent well-educated family can be  without..........   Here  are some facts about the 1500s:   They used to use urine to  tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then  once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had  to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor"  But worse than that  were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a  pot...........they "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the  lowest of the low   Most people got married in June  because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still  smelled pretty good by June.  However,  since they were starting to smell . .. .brides carried a  bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.  Hence the custom  today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.   Baths  consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the   house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the  other sons and men, then the women and finally the children.  Last  of all the babies By then the water was so dirty you could  actually lose someone in it.  Hence  the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath  water!"   Houses had thatched roofs-thick  straw-piled high, with no ceiling underneath. It was the only  place for animals to get warm,  so  all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the  roof.  When  it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would  slip and fall off the roof.  Hence  the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."    There was nothing to stop things from  falling into the house.  This  posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other  droppings could mess up your nice clean bed.  Hence,  a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded  some protection.  That's  how canopy beds came into existence.   The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy  had something other than dirt.   Hence the saying, "Dirt  poor."  The  wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter  when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep   their footing.  As  the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you   opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece  of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.   (Getting  quite an education, aren't you?)   In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen  with a big kettle that   always hung over the  fire.  Every  day they lit the fire and added things to the pot.   They ate  mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.  They  would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to  get cold overnight and then start over the next day.  Sometimes  stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.  Hence  the rhyme:  Peas  porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine  days old.   Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them  feel quite special.   When visitors came over, they would hang up  their bacon to show off.  It  was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the  bacon."  They  would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit  around and chew the fat.    Those with money had plates made of  pewter.  Food  with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto  the food,  causing  lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes,  so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered  poisonous.   Bread was divided according to status. Workers  got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle,  and guests got the top, or the upper crust.   Lead cups were used  to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock  the imbibers out for a couple of days.  Someone  walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare  them for burial. They  were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the  family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see  if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.    England  is old  and small and the local folks started running out of   places to  bury people.  So  they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-  house, and reuse the grave.  When reopening these coffins, 1  out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the  inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.  So  they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it  through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a  bell. Someone  would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard  shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved  by the bell or was considered a dead ringer...   And that's the  truth...Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !   So . .  get out there and educate someone!   Share  these facts with a friend like I just did! ! !
