The total number of residences with women in charge is a growing indicator, and it is important to emphasize that more than half of Brazilian households are female-headed nuclear families, in other words, family compositions that comprise a single (economically active) single mother and child(s) or a single mother (economically active), child(ren) and grandparents. Specifically, it was identified that the cities of Carapicu??ba, Itapevi and Jandira do not have, implemented, any kind of entrepreneurship actions aimed at Women Heads of Families (WHF), and in these locations they represent a population that does not have elementary education, with an income of up to two minimum wages and at least one underage child. Based on these initial considerations, the main objective of the study, which is condensed in this article, was to propose, from the comprehension and perception of the individual’s sense, requirements for professional training, via vehicle-school, of WHF, benefiting the local and global society through social entrepreneurship. Among the types of vehicles studied, the vehicle V.U.C. (Urban Cargo Vehicle) with a variation of the configuration “students and teacher IN (inside)”, the side of the vehicle will be lowered on a “stage” and projected out of the car for greater student participation. The focus of the classes to be developed with the vehicle refers to the manufacture of honeybreads for sale, also being carried out actions aimed at teach-learning the management of a small enterprise such as this. The choice of the honeybread as a guiding axis was due to the great durability of the product (up to 15 days, provided it is properly packaged) and the need for few materials and ingredients to make it. The school vehicle, as proposed, would serve 10 students per period, that is, with 1 vehicle, 4 hours training, for 280 days, will be generated learning an opportunity to increase the income of families headed by women who will participate in the project.

Evaluation of the Efficiency of Stimulus Measures
The impact of expansionary fiscal policy intended to increase economic growth by using stimulus packages is analyzed by considering the debt to GDP ratio dynamics model. It is shown that for the data characterizing the current state of the U.S. economy the government investment in infrastructure and tax cuts alone cannot decrease the debt to GDP ratio. The paper contributes to the on-going fiscal policy debate whether government investment in infrastructure and tax cuts are an effective approach to boost the economy.

The Semantic Approach in Teaching and Learning Mathematics in Secondary Schools
A clear understanding of the structure and meaning of language is a necessary condition for the effective teaching of mathematics, both at an abstract level and also to equip students with the skills associated with solving problem situations in everyday life. Work on the formation of the ability to solve problems begins with the first days of schooling. Solutions to simple problems usually present no difficulty. But many students have progressively greater difficulty in solving more complex problems. This is particularly noticeable at times of transition between classes. One cause of this is that struggling students do not have sufficient ability to analyze the text of a given problem, and thus to correctly identify both the distinction and the interrelation between the known and the unknown, which is the basis for choosing the way to solve it.
