From what I understand and have heard, there was no Cholo in real life. The movie just put that character in there to make it a little bit better.

Mr. Escalante gives Angel 3 so he can have one at home, one for his locker and one in his backpack. Angel has multiple books so that it he doesn't look like he's studying by carrying around the textbook, save face and keep looking cool.
The movie Stand and Deliver is rated PG because it has some inappropriate language and actions. Otherwise, this movie is touching and inspirational. I recommend this movie for viewers over the age of 12-13.
To coax Mr. Escalante to allow him back into class. Angel had recently been told to get out of the class and quit wasting every body's time when he showed up to class after partying the night before. In the Chicano/Latino culture, there is a major respect to the elders such as Angel's grandmother. And it was a way to get his grandmother to plead to Mr. Escalante to allow Angel back into the AP math class. It showed that Angel was willing to go to any lengths, and that he was serious about his education, he just used his "street" smarts to accomplish it. And after this scene, Angel was in the class again.
Stand And Deliver.
