Why 1/4 + 4/6 DOESN’T Equal 5/10

This equation doesn’t equal 5/10 because you aren’t supposed to add the denominators and numerators; you do something different.  You find common denominators, and then add the numerators together. 
1. To find common denominators you find the lowest common multiple of the two denominatros, which in this case is is 12.  In class, we have learned that in [...]

Tigers Just Wanna Have Fun

Our second art project of the year is to paint a tiger acrylic paint on canvas. The background must be warm colors and the tiger cool, or vice versa.
I learned a lot about acrylic paints this project, but some important techniques/facts stuck to my mind.  One of them is, “mixing paint can get you always [...]
