[0002] In the current education field, mathematics, as a fundamental and important course, plays a crucial role in cultivating students' comprehensive qualities. Geometry, encompassing both plane and solid geometry, is a key component of mathematics teaching. However, geometry teaching faces numerous challenges in practice.
[0003] From the perspective of student learning, geometry is highly abstract, especially the definitions and characteristics of conic sections such as circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas, as well as the complex relationships between lines, lines and planes, and planes. These concepts exceed students' current cognitive level, making it difficult for them to understand and master them. Taking conic sections as an example, the formation process of these curves is abstract, and the concepts of fixed points and fixed lengths involved in their definitions make it difficult for students to construct clear images in their minds, leading to a decline in their learning motivation and poor learning outcomes.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A simple geometric aid device in this embodiment includes two wooden boards 1;
[0027] Two wooden boards 1 are hinged together, and a digital angle ruler 2 is installed on the front side of one of the wooden boards 1. At least two horizontal tubes 3 are rotatably connected to the upper surface of both wooden boards 1.
[0028] A ruler 4 is provided on the lower surface of the wooden board 1. A groove is provided inside the ruler 4 along its length extension direction. Two fixed components 5 are slidably connected inside the groove.
[0029] The two fixing components 5 are connected by the same pull rope 6 on their outer sides, and the two fixing components 5 are also connected by the same zipper 7 on their outer sides.
[0030] In actual setup, the two wooden boards 1 are hinged together, allowing them to rotate relative to each other, thus creating different spatial angles. This facilitates the demonstration of surface relationships in solid geometry. The digital angle ruler 2 in front of the wooden boards 1 can accurately measure the angle formed by the rotation of the two wooden boards 1. When demonstrating dihedral angles and other concepts, it allows students to intuitively see the changes in angle values, enhancing the intuitiveness of learning.
[0031] In addition, at least two horizontal tubes 3 are rotatably connected to the upper surfaces of both wooden boards 1. The horizontal tubes 3 are made of plastic straws and are detachably installed on the wooden boards 1 by screws. The detachable connection method makes it convenient to replace damaged horizontal tubes 3. On the other hand, when demonstrating the relationship between lines and lines or between lines and surfaces, the position of the horizontal tubes 3 can be flexibly adjusted. For example, when demonstrating the parallel relationship between lines, the two horizontal tubes 3 can be adjusted to a parallel state. When demonstrating skew lines, the horizontal tubes 3 can be adjusted to skew positions on different planes.
[0032] In detail, a groove is provided inside the scale 4 along its length. The cross-sectional shape of the groove side is convex. The convex groove can prevent the fixing component 5 from coming out of the groove, ensuring the stability of the device.
[0033] The fixing component 5 includes a square nut 501 that is slidably connected inside the groove. A bolt 502 is threaded inside the square nut 501. The bolt 502 is slidably connected inside the groove. The pull rope 6 and the zipper 7 are both connected to the bolt 502. Several first scale grooves are provided on the lower surface of the scale 4. Second scale grooves are provided on the lower surfaces of both wooden boards 1.
[0034] In actual setup, this connection structure allows the pull cord 6 and zipper 7 to move along the scale 4 with the fixing component 5, achieving different functions.
[0035] In actual use, the pencil is tied to the pull rope 6 and pulled tight to fix the length of the pull rope 6. With a fixed component 5 as a fixed point, the pencil can draw a circle by rotating around the fixed point. Changing the length of the pull rope 6 changes the distance to the fixed point, thereby changing the radius of the circle. This process is based on the definition of a circle, that is, the trajectory of a moving point on a plane that is equidistant from a fixed point is a circle.
[0036] Furthermore, by attaching a pencil to the string 6 and adjusting the positions of the two fixed components 5 to make the string 6 taut, the two fixed components 5 are equivalent to the two foci of the ellipse. The length of the string 6 is the sum of the distances to the two fixed points, and the fixed length is greater than the distance between the two fixed points. By moving the pencil, an ellipse can be drawn, and the lengths of the minor and major axes can be read on the ruler 4. By changing the distance between the two fixed components 5, ellipses of different shapes can be drawn. The changes of the ellipse when the length and focal length are changed can also be demonstrated, thereby showing the definition and properties of an ellipse.
[0037] By tightening zipper 7 and pressing a pencil against the end of zipper 7, and pulling zipper 7 open along the end of zipper 7, since the distance between adjacent teeth of zipper 7 is equal, the difference between the point where the end of zipper 7 moves and the two fixed components 5 is always equal, thus vividly demonstrating the formation of one branch of a hyperbola. By turning zipper 7 around, the other branch of the hyperbola can be demonstrated, fully presenting the shape of the hyperbola and helping students understand the definition of a hyperbola, which is the set of points on a plane whose absolute value is a constant difference in distance to two fixed points.
[0038] Furthermore, by rotating one of the wooden boards 1, the two wooden boards 1 form two intersecting planes in space. Rotating the horizontal tube 3 within the plane can demonstrate the parallel, intersecting, and skew relationships between lines. Combining the horizontal tube 3 with the plane of the wooden board 1 can demonstrate the inclusion, intersection, and parallel relationships between lines and planes. By observing the intersection of the two wooden boards 1, the characteristics of planes intersecting can be shown. Using the digital angle ruler 2, the degree of the dihedral angle can be measured, thereby demonstrating the judgment and properties of planes being perpendicular to each other, allowing students to intuitively experience various relationships in solid geometry.
[0039] In addition, the length of an object can be measured by using the first scale groove on the lower surface of the ruler 4 and the second scale groove on the lower surface of the wooden board 1. By aligning the object with the scale groove and reading the scale value, the length of the object can be obtained, thus realizing the function of the device as a ruler.
