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.

Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes?

Sad but true ::)

Only difference was here our math in the 90's was still much like the 50's...but most of our books were from that time frame so that explains a lot ;D
