1. Teaching Math In 1950

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

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

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

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

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. )

------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Teaching Math In 2008

¿Un hachero vende una carretada de madera para $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

Yep, that's where we're headed mi amigo. Some people believe the English language will be dead in America in 20 years. WHat's sad is that it's happening before our eyes and no politician will do a damned thing about it. I know many solutions for the immigration problem, a subjet for another thread perhaps, OK, back to the immportant stuff, whores, ticas, and putas!


PURA VIDA!

Let's see if I've got this right: The U. S. makes war against Mexico, stealing 1/3 of the country and you have a problem because they want to get it back through benign means? That cover it? jeez o'murphy!

You did okay until 2008...

Math in 2008: Okay, the trees are about gone, along with the salmon, but a logger managed to get a load of percker poles off the mountain. He sells the load for $100 of which 9/5 is spent on diesel. How much will he tip at Zona Blue? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did you guys see that recent Absolute Vodka ad that showed the western portion of the USA as part of Mexico....?

Or a recent joke made by a Mexican comedian when asked "What part of Mexico are your from?" His answer was 'Los Angeles!"
