Book Description
Este Glosario Ilustrado de Matemáticas Escolares provee definiciones precisas y a la vez accesibles a un amplio público. En esta obra se incluyen los conceptos más frecuentemente usados de las matemáticas elementales, abarcando desde primaria, secundaria, bachillerato y de nivel universitario, correspondientes a los cursos del área de ingeniería. En particular, se incluyen términos de los cursos de cálculo infinitesimal, cálculo de funciones de varias variables, álgebra lineal, ecuaciones diferenciales, cálculo vectorial, matemáticas finitas, probabilidad y estadística. Esta obra contiene 2442 términos definidos y 1242 figuras. La cantidad de ilustraciones es mayor si se consideran a los ejemplos en cada definición como una ilustración. Además de la definición de cada término, en donde se consideró pertinente, se incluyen resultados matemáticos relacionados, propiedades algebraicas del objeto matemático definido, su representación geométrica, ejemplos para clarificar el concepto o la técnica matemática definida, etc., con la intención de transmitir la idea matemática en distintas formas de representación (algebraica, numérica, geométrica, etc.) El objetivo del autor de esta obra es proporcionar una fuente de referencia para trabajos de investigación escolar, y a la vez, que este libro sirva como un apoyo para el estudiante que requiere entender la definición de algún término matemático o conocer los resultados más importantes relacionados con éste. Un glosario de términos matemáticos nunca puede ser considerado terminado. Por ello, esta obra no pretende ser exhaustiva de las matemáticas. Sin embargo, esta versión es muy completa y por ello debe ser considerada un ejemplar indispensable, tanto en la biblioteca escolar como en la familiar. Este libro será de gran utilidad para estudiantes, profesores, tutores, edutubers, autores, e incluso, investigadores del área de matemáticas, y de su aprendizaje y enseñanza, y toda aquella persona del público en general que desea mejorar su entendimiento de las ideas matemáticas.

Book Description
This book covers the most important ideas of calculus and its applications. An emphasis is placed on the use of infinitely small quantities (i.e., infinitesimals), which were used in the creation of this branch of mathematics. The goal of the author is to provide a smoother transition to the understanding of the ideas of infinitesimal quantity, derivative, differential, antiderivative, and the definite integral. In order to give the reader an easier approach to learning and understanding these ideas, the same justifications given by the creators of the calculus are explained in this book. The justification of the formulas to compute derivatives is deduced according to its historical genesis with the use of the idea of infinitesimal as stated by Leibniz. Also, the justification of the formulas for antiderivatives is explained in detail. Some applications of the calculus are also covered, among them, extreme values of functions, related rates, arc length, area of regions in the plane, volume, surface area, mass, the center of mass, the moment of inertia, hydrostatic pressure, work, and several more. Mathematical rigor is not emphasized in this work, but instead, the meaning of the concepts and the understanding of the mathematical procedures in order to prepare the reader to apply the calculus in different contexts, among them: geometry, physics, and engineering problems. To motivate more teachers and students to use this book, the topics covered have been arranged according to most of the traditional calculus courses. However, because the theory of limits and the definitions of the ideas of calculus based on limits, were created many years later by Cauchy and Weierstrass, the limits and some related ideas (like continuity and differentiability) are not detailed covered.

Book Description
Young children and teachers both have active roles in the learning processHow do preschoolers learn and develop? What are the best ways to support learning in the early years? This revised edition of The Intentional Teacher guides teachers to balance both child-guided and adult-guided learning experiences that build on children's interests and focus on what they need to learn to be successful in school and in life.This edition offers new chapters on science, social studies, and approaches to learning. Also included is updated, expanded information on social and emotional development, physical development and health, language and literacy, mathenatics, and the creative arts. In each chapter are many practical teaching strategies that are illustrated with classroom-based anecdotes.The Intentional Teacher encourages readers to- Reflect on their principles and practices- Broaden their thinking about appropriate early curriculum content and instructional methods- Discover specific ideas and teaching strategies for interacting with children in key subject areasIntentional teaching does not happen by chance. This book will help teachers apply their knowledge of children and of content to make thoughtful, intentional use of both child-guided and adult-guided experiences.

Book Description
The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City. Many women like Villegas de Magnon from both sides of the border risked their lives and left their families to support the revolution. Years later, however, when their participation had still been unacknowledged and was running the risk of being forgotten, Villegas de Magnon decided to write her personal account of this history. The Rebel covers the period from 1876 through 1920, documenting the heroic actions of the women. Written in the third person with a romantic fervor, the narrative interweaves autobiography with the story of La Cruz Blanca. Until now Villegas de Magnon's written contributions have remained virtually unrecognized - peripheral to both Mexico and the United States, fragmented by a border. Not only does her work attest to the vitality, strength and involvement of women in sociopolitical concerns, but it also stands as one of the very few written documents that consciously challenges stereotyped misconceptions of Mexican Americans held by both Mexicans and Anglo-Americans.

Book Description
This powerful book tells the story of one teacher's odyssey to understand the inner world of immigrant children, and to create a learning environment that is responsive to these students' feelings and their needs. Featuring the voices and artwork of many immigrant children, this text portrays the immigrant experience of uprooting, culture shock, and adjustment to a new world, and then describes cultural, academic, and psychological interventions that facilitate learning as immigrant students make the transition to a new language and culture. Particularly relevant for courses dealing with multicultural and bilingual education, foundations of education, and literacy curriculum and instruction, this text is essential reading for all teachers who will -- or currently do -- work in today's school environment.

Book Description
This collection of original papers presents current research on linguistic aspects of the Spanish used in the United States. The authors examine such topics as language maintenance and language shift, language choice, the bilingual's discourse patterns, varieties of Spanish used in the United States, and oral proficiency testing of bilingual speakers. In view of the fact that Hispanics constitute the largest linguistic minority in the United States, the pioneering work in the area of sociolinguistic issues in the U.S. Spanish presented here is of great importance.
