\t\t\t\t— Teaching Math in 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber
\n for $100. His cost of production is 4\/5 of the price.
\nWhat is his profit?
\n
Teaching Math in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber
\nfor $100. His cost of production is 4\/5 of the price, or $80.
\nWhat is his profit?<\/p>\n
Teaching Math in 1970: A logger exchanges a set “L” of
\nlumber for a set “M” of money. The cardinality of set “M” is 100.
\nEach element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the
\nelements
\nof the set “M.” The set “C”, the cost of production contains 20 fewer
\npoints than set “M.” Represent the set “C”
\nas a subset of set “M” and answer the following question:
\nWhat is the cardinality of the set “P” of profits?<\/p>\n
Teaching Math in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20.
\nYour assignment: Underline the number 20.
\n
Teaching Math in 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making
\na living? Topic for class participation after answering the question:
\nHow did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the
\ntrees? There are no wrong answers.
\n
Teaching Math in 2000: A logger sells a truckload of lumber
\nfor $100. His cost of production is $120. How does Arthur Andersen
\ndetermine that his profit margin is $60?
