I share the bibliography of some books that I have studied that maybe they can use to teach mathematics and especially the use of graphical methods for participatory development of other additional skills.

Diana M. Fisher

1 - Modeling Dynamic Systems: Lessons for a First Course
2 - Lessons in Mathematics: A Dynamic Approach

By Rob Quaden and Alan Ticotsky
With Debra Lyneis

1 - The Shape of Change
2 - The Shape of Change Stocks and Flows

Mostly the book (2) Diana M. Fisher is great for teaching the basics of derivatives and integrals used in SD.

Additionally annex an article entitled Simulating Hamlet where SD is applied to a literature class, where I want to convey a message is like this kind of changes the dynamic as is traditionally taught and makes them much more interested in young people how these boys are encouraged to study the novel to discover data required by the model, so ingenious that teach a class like this, I consider that something might happen to the teaching of mathematics using SD more attractive to the issues our children.
