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

Fast 

One day, my husband announced to the family that 

he was going to fast and pray. 

Ginny, our 5-year-old, had recently learned that 

fasting meant not eating. "No!" she shouted. "You 

can't fast! You'll die!" 

Her dad carefully explained that many men and women 

fasted in Bible times. 

Ginny paused a moment. Then, with a flash of insight 

and a note of warning, she proved her point. "And 

they all died," she said.

- from Da Mouse Tracks

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

If we demonstrate unconditional love, daily prayer, 

persistent faith, and adherence to God’s laws, we 

give our children a gift. If we teach them that good 

deeds and kind words are expressions of the Spirit, 

we are on track toward living more like Jesus.

Fifty Years of Math 1957 -2007 (in the USA)

Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and 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? 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 maderapara $100. El costo de la

producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
