:rollside: Ole's Cow
Ole is a farmer in Minnesota. He is in need of a new milk cow and
hears about one for sale over in Nordakota (that would be North
Dakota for you non Scandhoovians out there).
He drives to the Nordakota farm and looks over the cow. Ole reaches
under to see if she gives milk. When he grabs the teat and pulls..
the cow farts.
Ole is very surprised. He looks at the farmer who is selling the cow,
then reaches under the cow to try again. He grabs another teat,
pulls, and the cow farts again. Milk does come out however, so after
some discussion with the cow's owner, Ole decides to buy the cow and
take her home.
When he gets back to Minnesota, he calls over his neighbor, Sven, and
says, "Hey, Sven, come and look at dis here new cow I yust bought.
Pull her teat, and see vat happens."
Sven reaches under, pulls the teat and the cow farts. Sven looks at
Ole and says, "You bought dis here cow in Nordakota, didn't yah?"
Ole is very surprised since he hadn't told Sven about his trip. Ole
replies, "Yah dats right. but, how did you know?
Sven says, "My wife is from Nordakota."
My wife is from IL. :)

Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $3.58.The counter girl took my $4.00 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 andtried 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:
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 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 por $100. El cargo de produccion es $80. Cuantas tortillas se puede comprar?
