Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Kids make and use some of the world's counting and number systems: From the Chinese abacus using beads, the Inca quipu using knotted strings, and the English tally marks -- not to mention those ubiquitous fingers and toes -- varied cultures have turned to similar ideas for quantifying. - Kids explore the global solutions to computation and problem solving: Try out the Egyptian multiplication system of arrays while baking an Array Pyramid Honey Cake; see how the importance of pattern in the Persian culture ties in with their lattice method of multiplication. - Kids see how patterns and sequences are unique in each culture, but they also see that patterns are everywhere, in the tessellated Moorish tiles in Spain, symmetrical African weaving, the Australian Maori tribe's Tukutuku panels and tattoo designs. - Kids are off to explore navigation systems in Canada and da Vinci's calculations of distance, Germany's applied math in clocks, France's Pascal calculator (to help his dad do taxes), and the U.S.'s Grace Hopper's computer language (and her discovery of the first-ever computer bug!).

Book excerpt: Nine-year-old Morgan is the daughter of an explorer, and an adventurer at heart. When her father is lost on an expedition, Morgan and her mother are forced to sell their home and move in with a mysterious family they've never met. Morgan soon discovers that the family is hiding a great secret, and that a world of magic and enchantments might actually be real. Set in Massachusetts at the turn of the last century, Morgan and the Forty Thieves is a captivating adventure story that has problem solving and mathematical concepts woven into the narrative. Math is presented as a language of the universe that helps us understand the beautiful patterns and symmetries found in nature. In Book One of the series, children learn a step-by-step process of beginning multiplication. It begins with skip counting or counting by numbers, and then moves to adding equal sized groups, and then multiplication, with several examples of each worked into the story. There are also addition problems, logic puzzles, a pattern puzzle, a smattering of geometry and a simple demonstration of comparing numbers-depicting ratios without using that term. Finally there is an introduction of two mathematical concepts found in nature, the Fibonacci sequence and Fractals. Math found in the natural world will be a repeated theme of the Morgan series. As a Chapter Book series the Morgan tales are designed to fall at the end of the Chapter Book levels, just before Middle Reader books. The sentence structure is simple and straightforward so that the book is accessible to younger readers, while the storyline is complex and intriguing enough to engage older readers. The Morgan series is loosely based upon the collection of tales, The Thousand and One Nights or The Arabian Nights. These stories were created during the Golden Age of Islam in Persia and the Indian subcontinent.

Download or read book Multicultural Literature for Latino Bilingual Children written by Ellen Riojas Clark and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are volumes that fall into the category of children’s literature, there appears to be relatively few that explore the needs of bilingual learners and the linguistic and sociocultural context of Latino children’s literature. This volume makes a needed contribution by addressing the social, cultural, academic, and linguistic needs of Latino bilingual learners who are still underserved through current school practices. We aim to conceptualize different forms of social knowledge so that they can serve as cultural resources for learning, acquiring knowledge, and transforming self and identity. This volume presents a balance of theory, research, and practice that speak to authentic multicultural Latino literature and helps ensure its availability for all students. The intended outcome of this volume then is to create a heightened awareness of the cultural and linguistic capital held by the Latino community, to increase Latino students’ social capital through the design of critical pedagogical practices, and for the formulation of a new perspective, that of Latino multicultural literature for children.
