Math + English… Will it Blend? (New Word Problem Worksheets!)
Yes, Dad has a Blendtec Total Blender. No, he hasn’t tried blending dictionaries, math texts or any other book for that matter. But, there’s no doubt that it would. And if you were so inclined, it would most certainly produce a set of word problem worksheets complete with answer keys almost exactly like you can find right here.
If you don’t believe me, just ask Tom. You should see what this thing will do to golf balls. Or your iPhone. Please keep your hands, feet, children and any other valuables away from the fast moving parts.

You paid FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS for a blender??? Do the math: depreciation vs. compound interest. Both you and your daughter will learn something!

Actually, it was a gift so it didn’t directly affect the balance sheet here… Despite that, given how we’d burned up a $50-$100 blender pretty much annually in years past and this one is going on three years (plus we’re using this one A LOT more), I’m optimistic it would represent a solid capital investment…
