Evolution of British maths teaching

1. Teaching Maths In 1970

3. Teaching Maths In 1990

£80. Did he make a profit?


4. Teaching Maths In 2000
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 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. )
