by Anika & Aria C. Key: Black circle= Negative White Circle= Positive a. The answer of 6+(-4) would be +2. +2 is the answer because in the chip model, you started off with 6 positive chips (white) and add 4 negative chips (black). Now, you have 4 zero pairs, leaving 2 white chips (positive) as the answer. b. The answer would be +7 because you start out with 4 positive chips and you have to take away 3 negative chips, but you don't have any, so you add 3 zero pairs. Then you cross out the 3 negatives and you are left with 7 positive chips.  c.   When you multiply, you start with 0. You have to take away 2 groups of -4 because the negative sign means you are taking away. But you don't have 2 groups of -4, so you add 8 zero pairs (zero pairs don't change the number's value). Then you cross out 8 negatives, and you are left with +8. d. You start out with -8 and are supposed to divide it into 4 groups. In each group there would be 2 negative chips, ...

<NOTE: My full sized rough draft was used as my final> In Art class we created a name design in which we had to express ourselves though our name. Idea Doodles To start this assignment, I doodled multiple name idea. A fter we finished the 4 ideas, we conferenced with Mr. K to select the best design to make into our final piece of art. I chose the doodle on the top right, changing it a little as the process went through. Circle Page I messed around with the letter 'A' and tested 4 different art materials (colored pencil, oil pastel, water color and acrylic paints). Final Art The best part of the assignment was seeing myself turn mistakes into part of the art. The mistakes aren't very noticeable anymore, but they just make my art look better. The most challenging part of this assignment was finishing it on time, but I did it!

I was a girl running on the highest sand dune in the Sam Dunes of the Thar Desert wearing a neon pink winter fleece, chasing my younger sister around the dunes. My sister was running up and down the large sand dune with me following her around slowly, as the sand slowly ate the color off my shoes. My parents stopped following us after a while and I could see them taking photos of all the sand flying everywhere. Finally reaching the top of the dune, I plopped down and stared at the horizon.The cold wind was blowing through my hair as I sat on top of the sand dune. The sun was setting, staining the sky purple. It was nothing much and it only lasted for about a minute, but I knew at that moment, it would be my most treasured memory from this winter break. I stood up, trying to memorize every detail so I could paint this picture at home. Most p...
