The Evolution of Math Teaching1960s:A peasant sells a bag of potatoes for $10. His costs amount to 4/5 of his selling price. What is hisprofit?

●

1970s:A farmer sells a bag of potatoes for $10. His costs amount to 4/5 of his selling price, that is, $8.What is his profit?

●

1970s (new math):A farmer exchanges a set P of potatoes with set M of money. The cardinality of the set M is equalto 10, and each element of M is worth $1. Draw ten big dots representing the elements of M. Theset C of production costs is composed of two big dots less than the set M. Represent C as a subsetof M and give the answer to the question: What is the cardinality of the set of profits?

●

1980s:A farmer sells a bag of potatoes for $10. His production costs are $8, and his profit is $2.Underline the word "potatoes" and discuss with your classmates.

●

1990s:A farmer sells a bag of potatoes for $10. His or her production costs are 0.80 of his or her revenue.On your calculator, graph revenue vs. costs. Run the POTATO program to determine the profit.Discuss the result with students in your group. Write a brief essay that analyzes this example in thereal world of economics.
