Benefits of technology

[0012] It is the object of the present invention to provide a mathematical problem solving game that is fun to play. It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a game, providing a plurality of skill levels wherein means for competing with the mixed skill levels of children and adults exist.

Problems solved by technology

These are limited to developing the memory.
This is excellent for language enhancement but fails to enhance mathematical skills.
These are excellent for addition or subtraction but are limited in true mathematical skill development.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] With respect to FIG. 1. Specialized playing cards (1) each display within the scope of the present invention, unique mathematical questions (2) consisting of four calculation numbers (3) and one underlined solution number (4) with skill levels required to solve the unique mathematical questions (2) complete solution (5)(6), being numerically identified as a skill level (7)(8)(9)(10).

[0031] Players are required to solve the unique mathematical questions, (2) by creating two sums (5) each of the two sums (5) to consist of two numbers in a manner that utilizes each of the four calculation numbers (3) a single time, with the object that the resulting answers to the two sums (5) can be formed into a third two number sum, (6) whereby the answer to the third two number sum (6) equals the underlined solution number (4).

[0032] The level of skill required to solve the unique mathematical question increases progressively as the skill level numbers increase. Skill level 1 (7) unique ma...

Abstract

A deck of cards, each card displaying on upper face four fixed format mathematical problems, color coded to indicate skill level, to play the game, players simultaneously view a selected problem, objective being to be first player to solve problem using fixed format solution technique, examples: problem displayed is 4,3,2,1=6, players mathematically manipulate calculation numbers 4,3,2,1 to form solution number 6, solving format, form two questions, using each calculation number just once, having answers that can then be combined to form third question, with an answer equaling the solution number (6), two questions 4+3=7 3−2=1 answers are then combined to form third question 7−1=6 solution number, higher skill level example: 6,5,11,8=26 answer 6×11=66 8×5=40 66−40=26.

Description

[0001] In accordance with the present invention, a mathematical problem solving game, has a specialized deck of cards, each card having an upper face providing a display of mathematical questions, positioned one above the other and coded to indicate their required skill level, each in a fixed format of four calculation numbers and one underlined solution number, whereby, the answer to the question is in a fixed format requiring the four calculation numbers to be divided into two sums, calculated to form two answers that can be formed into a third sum having an answer that is equal to the underlined solution number of the displayed question. A simple example: Solution number 2 calculation numbers 2, 1, 4, 3, answer 2−1=1 4−3=1 1+1=2 To initiate the game a card is openly displayed and players earn points by being the first to declare a correct answer. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a multi skill level mathematical problem solving game and more particula...
