big math

This sketch is the seventy-ninth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day seventy-nine: Fraction homework. On the page are all the calculations I could not do in my head when adding 16 3/8 + 4 4/5 + 12 3/4 + 23 5/6. The nice thing is that I actually knew what to do, it just took awhile to work it out. Algebra is another story for me. I’m not even really sure what algebra is, except it often involves x and y. Math is very precise. Do it right, and there is one answer. This picture is not precise at all. The ladder is too short and too foreshortened, and the shadows are a touch off. But I still think it looks pretty cool. Plus, I like imagining myself doing math on a giant wall.
