The second-largest Latino-immigrant group in Los Angeles after Mexicans, Central Americans have become a remarkable presence in city neighborhoods, with colorful festivals, flags adorning cars, community organizations, as well as vibrant ethnic businesses. The people from Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama living in Los Angeles share many cultural and historical commonalities, such as language, politics, religion, and perilous migratory paths as well as future challenges. The distinctions are also evident as ethnicities, music, and food create a healthy diversity throughout residential locations in Los Angeles. During the 1980s and 1990s, an unprecedented number of new Central Americans arrived in this cosmopolitan city, many for economic reasons while others were escaping political turmoil in their native countries.

Central Americans have embraced Los Angeles as home and, in doing so, transported their rich heritage and customs to the streets of this multicultural metropolis.
A comprehensive study of an ethnic political movement.

Este libro se dirige a futuros maestros de Educación Primaria, que se aproximan a las matemáticas en términos de su enseñanza y aprendizaje; a maestros en activo, que tendrán un apoyo a la planificación y análisis de sus clases; y a formadores de maestros, que dispondrán de una guía para el diseño y la reflexión sobre el contenido de la formación inicial. Se abordan contenidos matemáticos, sus conexiones y su enseñanza y aprendizaje, teniendo en cuenta los propios objetos matemáticos, lo que incluye estrategias, recursos didácticos y características del aprendizaje de dichos objetos. Para ofrecer al lector un bagaje de estrategias y modos de hacer y producir en matemáticas, se dedican dos capítulos transversales a la resolución de problemas y a los procesos argumentativos. El último capítulo del libro versa sobre perspectivas de análisis de las prácticas de enseñanza, medio en el que finalmente deben confluir y ponerse en práctica los conocimientos construidos.
Ofrece una propuesta curricular de enseñanza de la Geometría Plana.
