Math_In_Everyday_Life

Math In Everyday Life Through the years, and probably through the centuries, teachers have struggled to make math meaningful by providing students with problems and examples demonstrating its applications in everyday life. As this classic joke shows, some strategies are more successful -- and more meaningful -- than others! 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. What is his profit' Teaching Math in 1970: A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is $100. Each element is worth $1. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M." The set "C," the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" for profits' Teaching Math in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. Her cost of production is $80 and her profit is $20. recipe, result, data, 5%, survey, accident, students, significant, class, year, very, results, people, evidence, bill, scientific, make, life, ingredients, happen, experiment, surveys, study, scientists, school, response, one, measuring, makes, half, group, good, fractions, feed, even, each
