Benefits of technology
The invention is a geometrical building toy and game that improves cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, and processing speed. It uses the brain's memory to absorb geometric information and enhance tasks that require geometrical skills. The invention offers an engagement-based learning solution that allows educators to offer up ideas and have them reshaped through geometrical modeling, analysis, and representation. The game promotes understanding of geometrical shapes and relationships, benefitting students in math and architecture courses.
Problems solved by technology
Many high strength magnets are formed from brittle materials, and their use has resulted in magnets impacting one another with sufficient force to shatter the magnets, which is very undesirable.
The use of high strength magnets also can also result in pinching of the skin of the user as the magnetic members are rapidly attracted to one another.

The magnetic device, namely a prism, is a game piece that is made of various geometrical prism shapes having a plurality of magnets with a particular magnet pole facing surface. Geometric magnetic game pieces, with corresponding to constructing a geometrical image structure, fundamentally rest upon accurate detailed perspectives through its visual perceptions and methodological inquiry to build a geometrical representation or structure. Structures are magnetically attracted or repelled by magnet poles. The invention is a method for motivational learning through the scope of mathematics, but in the context of geometry. It is an exploring magnetic device, a manipulative for learning to enhance or increase geometric proficiency and cognitive intelligence. The invention is meant to be a gratifying experience for enjoyment and educational purposes.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 538,012 filed on Sep. 22, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The field of the invention is a geometrical building magnetic toy and game that relates in its own field, geometric magnetic game pieces, each having a particular geometric three dimensional prism shape. There is plurality of magnet arrangement colors for constructing a geometrical representation or structure that is magnetically attracted or repelled with or without use of a geometric image data source or game board.BACKGROUND[0003]Magnets have been incorporated into a number of toys and games. They are particularly useful and desirable due to the ability of the users to experience the magnetic attraction and repulsion forces when manipulating the toy and game pieces with their hands. As such, it has been desirable to increase the ...
