Join us at #EagleRockElem Math Festival | Learn about math applications | Thu 3/12 (6:30p-8:00p)
What is a Math Festival? A Math Festival is a special event that demonstrates to students how important Mathematics is, and that it's not something to fear but a subject that EVERYONE can enjoy, marvel at, and be successful. A Math Festival is made up of 12 to 18 "math stations" where students of all abilities and grades, K–8, can actively participate in different hands-on mathematics activities and practice their math skills at the same time. Each Math Festival station is hands-on; there's everything from blocks and beans to laptop computers that students use in solving problems. Each Math Festival station is different, and each touches upon a different key mathematics concept. For example, students make function patterns out of cubes at one station, while at another they solve simultaneous equations with beans in the Algebra Math Festival. Students working with a partner choose a station to visit and work at that activity as long as they wish, working harder and harder problems. When they are ready, they move to another station and do a completely different activity. Each station has challenging tasks of different levels of difficulty, some very easy for young primary students, and some hard enough to challenge adults! The students walk away from their time at the Math Festival thinking that math is fun, interesting, AND that they CAN DO IT. Their teachers can build on that enthusiasm by using the Math Festival Curriculum activities with students after the Festival in their own classrooms. A Math Festival does an excellent job of getting students excited about this very important subject, and helps them see the value of mathematics in their lives. Remember to set your clocks forward 1 Hour! Daylight Saving Time began on Sunday 3/8 at 2:00a! #DST DST was first adopted to replace artificial lighting so they could save fuel for the war effort in Germany during World War I at 11:00pm (23:00) on April 30, 1916. It was quickly followed by Britain and many countries from both sides, including the United States. Many countries reverted back to standard time post-World War I, and it wasn’t until the next World War that DST would make its return to many countries in order to save vital energy resources for the war. President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted year-round DST in the United States, called “War Time” during World War II from February 9, 1942 to September 30, 1945. The law was enforced 40 days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and during this time, time zones were called “Eastern War Time”, “Central War Time”, and “Pacific War Time”. After the surrender of Japan in mid-August 1945, the time zones were relabeled “Peace Time”.

Friday, February 13, 2015 will see the official reopening of Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed Hollyhock House, an iconic architectural masterpiece in the heart of the vibrant, artistic, cultural, and recreational Barnsdall Park. To mark the occasion, Mayor Eric Garcetti and Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell will lead an Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with the project’s collaborators at 4:00 p.m. at the Hollyhock House on February 13, 2015. Friday, February 13, 2015 (4:00p)
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built between 1919 and 1921, the Hollyhock House was home to oil heiress Aline Barnsdall. The house was named after Aline Barnsdall's favorite flower, the hollyhock, which influenced the symmetrical design elements throughout the structure, including the leaded glass art windows. Characteristic of the Mayan Revival Style, the house was designed with a flat roof and slightly tilted walls accented by decorative bas reliefs. Wright continued designing in this style with four more homes in Los Angeles including the Ennis House and Storer House.
