I got this by email from friend G.H.:
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?
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. Whatis his profit?
Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
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.
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.)
Teaching Math In 2005
Un ranchero vende una carretera de madera para $100. El cuesto de la produccion era $80. Cuantos tortillas
se puede comprar?

That is the frickin funniest thing I have read in a long time!

It’s funny if your a racist moron, not so much racist just a moron. i see the point of the joke does not make it right
Dagny Gromer said:
Lu, did think you mean “you’re” which is a contraction of “you are”, not “your”.
Lighten up! I thought this post was humorous.

It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this brilliant blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking
and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
I look forward to new updates and will share this blog with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!

I come here searching for The evolution of teaching math:
1950’s to today . Now, Mathematics comes from many different sorts of
problems. Initially these were within commerce, land way of measuring, structures and later astronomy; today, all sciences suggest problems researched by mathematicians,
and many problems come up within mathematics itself. For instance,
the physicist Richard Feynman developed the path vital formulation of
quantum technicians utilizing a combo of mathematical reasoning
and physical information, and today’s string theory, a still-developing clinical theory which makes an attempt to unify the four important forces
of dynamics, continues to encourage new mathematics.
Many mathematical things, such as collections of volumes and functions, show internal
structure because of procedures or relationships that are described on the
collection. Mathematics then studies properties of these sets that may be expressed in conditions of that composition; for instance quantity theory
studies properties of the group of integers that may be
expressed in conditions of arithmetic businesses.
In addition, it frequently happens that different such set
up sets (or constructions) display similar properties,
rendering it possible, by an additional step of abstraction, to convey axioms for a course of buildings, and then review at once the complete class of buildings fulfilling these axioms.
Thus you can study communities, rings, domains and other abstract systems; mutually such studies (for
buildings identified by algebraic procedures) constitute the domain name of abstract algebra.
Here: http://math-problem-solver.com To be able to clarify the
foundations of mathematics, the domains of mathematical logic and place theory were developed.
Mathematical logic includes the mathematical analysis of logic and the applications of formal logic to the areas of mathematics;
placed theory is the branch of mathematics that studies pieces or selections of things.
Category theory, which discounts within an abstract way with
mathematical constructions and romantic relationships between them,
continues to be in development.

Can someone explain to me why it goes to Spanish? I want to laugh thats all. *laugh more that is*

I don’t know why you’d see it in Spanish. I don’t speak Spanish
