Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteen and Mia begins where the story in The GREEN HOUSE near Loveville ends and carries it forward with the main characters Morgan, Christy, Catherine, Ray, Jamison and Robot 19. Excitement builds when Robot 19 gets captured on the California Coast by North Korean commandos. Concern increases when he is sent to North Korea for interrogation and exploratory disassembly. While detained Nineteen unintentionally kills a guard, escapes, and finds his way onto an old cargo ship bound for the Mediterranean Sea. Once his ship gets through the Suez Canal and ties up for major repairs and maintenance at a shipyard in Port Said, Nineteen gets off and finds employment with a circus and becomes its star performer earning enough money to build a "superaEUR"charged" hot air balloon and sets sail for North America hoping to warn Jamison at Robot Headquarters in Loveville of a Doomsday attack by the North Koreans. In route to North America, Nineteen receives communion from the Pope, meets Mia on a small island populated exclusively by women, commandeers a small jet in Gambino (formerly known as Cuba) to shorten the time needed to get to Robot Headquarters. Shortening the time didn't matter, however, because thirty ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads had already left their silos.

Download or read book Toward Equity and Social Justice in Mathematics Education written by Tonya Gau Bartell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical volume responds to the enduring challenge in mathematics education of addressing the needs of marginalized students in school mathematics, and stems from the 2015 Annual Meeting of the North American Group of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA). This timely analysis brings greater clarity and support to such challenges by narrowing in on four foci: theoretical and political perspectives toward equity and justice in mathematics education, identifying and connecting to family and community funds of knowledge, student learning and engagement in preK-12 mathematics classrooms, and supporting teachers in addressing the needs of marginalized learners. Each of these areas examines how race, class, culture, power, justice and mathematics teaching and learning intersect in mathematics education to sustain or disrupt inequities, and include contributions from scholars writing about mathematics education in diverse contexts. Included in the coverage: Disrupting policies and reforms to address the needs of marginalized learners A socio-spatial framework for urban mathematics education Linking literature on allywork to the work of mathematics teacher educators Transnational families’ mathematical funds of knowledge Multilingual and technological contexts for supporting learners’ mathematical discourse Preservice teachers’ strategies for teaching mathematics with English learners Toward Equity and Social Justice in Mathematics Education is of significant interest to mathematics teacher educators and mathematics education researchers currently addressing the needs of marginalized students in school mathematics. It is also relevant to teachers of related disciplines, administrators, and instructional designers interested in pushing our thinking and work toward equity and justice in mathematics education.
