Not sure if this has been posted on here before or not, but here goes:



 Evolution of British maths teaching (scroll down)


1. Teaching Maths In 1970

A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.

His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.

What is his profit?























2. Teaching Maths In 1980

A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.

His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or £80.

What is his profit?





















3. Teaching Maths In 1990

A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.

His cost of production is £80.

Did he make a profit?























4. Teaching Maths In 2000

A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.

His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20.

Your assignment: Underline the number 20.





















5. Teaching Maths In 2008

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. )
