The Line Fire is a large active wildfire in San Bernardino County, Southern California. The fire began on September 5 near the community of Highland and spread into the San Bernardino National Forest. The fire has forced the evacuation of multiple communities. On September 10, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department identified and arrested 34-year-old Justin Wayne Halstenberg, a resident of Norco, on suspicion of starting the fire on September 5. As of October 8, 2024, the Line Fire has burned 43,978 acres (17,797 hectares) and is 87 percent contained. The cause of the fire is believed to be arson.[3] It began during a multiple-day heatwave in Southern California. Downtown Los Angeles reached 112 °F (44 °C), the third time that temperature had been reached since 1877. The Line Fire has led to mandatory evacuation orders for more than 500 homes. Initial evacuation warnings were issued for neighborhoods in East Highland in the early morning of September 6, 2024. By September 7, 2024, evacuation orders would be placed for neighborhoods along the foothills, extending into San Bernardino, and for neighborhoods east of Calle Del Rio. Over the following days the mountain communities of Green Valley Lake, Cedar Glen, Lake Arrowhead, Crestline, Valley of Enchantment, and Big Bear Valley were placed under evacuation warnings. Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for Running Springs, Arrowbear Lake, Angelus Oaks, Seven Oaks, Forest Falls, and Mountain Home Village.

Há muito, muito tempo, antes de existirem escolas, livros e até mesmo cadernos, as pessoas viviam em aldeias e trabalhavam juntas para conseguir comida, construir casas e preparar festas. Mas havia um grande problema… os números ainda não existiam! Certo dia, a aldeia estava se preparando para uma grande festa. Eles precisavam dividir os alimentos entre as famílias, separar os bancos para as pessoas sentarem e organizar as frutas para a sobremesa. Mas como fazer isso sem contar? O chefe da aldeia olhou para todos e disse: — Precisamos de ajuda! Como podemos garantir que cada família receba a mesma quantidade de pão e peixe? Como podemos saber se todos terão um lugar para sentar? Os moradores começaram a tentar resolver a situação: Alguns tentaram comparar os alimentos colocando um monte ao lado do outro. Outros tentaram distribuir usando as mãos, mas sem saber se estavam dando mais ou menos para cada um. Alguns começaram a usar pedras para representar o que estavam distribuindo. Mesmo assim, tudo parecia confuso. Como eles poderiam se organizar melhor? Desafio para a turma: Agora, seus alunos fazem parte da aldeia! Em grupos, eles precisam pensar em soluções para os problemas sem usar números. Dê a cada grupo um desafio, como: Como dividir os peixes entre as famílias de forma justa? Como garantir que cada pessoa tenha um lugar para sentar na festa? Como lembrar quantos dias faltam para a festa sem um calendário? Depois, cada grupo compartilha sua solução. No final, você pode conduzir a reflexão: Como a invenção dos números ajudou as pessoas a resolver esses problemas?
