Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to suitable teaching materials that allow learners such as children to learn letters and words while playing. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to master a language, it is necessary to learn the characters and words used in that language. Typical examples are Chinese characters in Japanese and words made up of the alphabet in English.

[0003] Traditionally, teaching materials such as kanji drills and English vocabulary books have been commonly used to teach students characters and vocabulary (see, for example, the following prior art documents). These teaching materials allow students to master the language by repeatedly writing and reading it, but on the other hand, they tend to be dry and boring. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-205412 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2016-177072 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention is intended to provide teaching materials that allow learners such as children to learn characters or words in a more enjoyable way. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The teaching material of the present invention is composed of a plurality of solid bodies, each of which has a plurality of outer surface areas, and which displays a portion of a letter or phrase on each of the outer surface areas, and when a portion of a letter or phrase displayed on one outer surface area of ​​one solid body is combined with a portion of a letter or phrase displayed on one outer surface area of ​​another solid body, a certain letter or phrase is completed.

[0007] More preferably, the solid body is in the shape of a cube, the six faces of which are the outer surface area and each of which displays a part of some character or phrase.

[0008] As teaching materials for learning kanji, the radicals of kanji or parts other than the radicals are displayed on each of the outer surface regions of the solid body. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, teaching materials can be realized that allow learners such as children to learn characters or words in a more enjoyable way. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a teaching material according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 4 is a development view showing each outer surface area of ​​a solid body that is a component of the teaching material of the embodiment. [Diagram 3] FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing an educational material according to another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The teaching material of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is devised to enable learners such as children to learn kanji in an entertaining and playful manner. This teaching material is composed of multiple solids 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each of the solids 1, 2, 3, and 4 is a cube, i.e., a regular hexahedron, just like a large dice. The material of each of the solids 1, 2, 3, and 4 is not particularly limited, and may be made of wood, hard resin, rubber or soft resin, or paper.

[0012] In this embodiment, the six faces of each of the solids 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used as outer surface regions, and parts of different Chinese characters (including those classified as radicals and those not classified as radicals) are attached to each outer surface region. The parts of Chinese characters may be displayed by writing or printing, by carving or embossing a recess, or by drilling a through hole.

[0013] In the teaching material of this embodiment, some kanji can be completed by combining parts of the kanji displayed on the outer surface areas of at least two solids 1, 2, 3, and 4. For example, when the "shinnyo" attached to a certain outer surface area of ​​a certain solid 1 is combined with the "shiro" attached to a certain outer surface area of ​​another solid 2, the kanji "sako" is completed. It is also possible to complete a kanji using three or more solids 1, 2, 3, and 4. For example, when the "sanzui" attached to a certain outer surface area of ​​a certain solid 1 is combined with the "shiro" attached to a certain outer surface area of ​​another solid 2, and the "takekanmuri" attached to a certain display area of ​​another solid 4, the kanji "haku" is completed.

[0014] The teaching material of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 is designed to allow learners to learn English words in an entertaining and playful way. This teaching material is also composed of multiple solids 5, 6, and 7. Each of the solids 5, 6, and 7 is a cube, i.e., a regular hexahedron, just like a large dice. The six faces of each solid are exterior regions, and each exterior region is assigned a part of a different English word (including a prefix, root, or suffix).

[0015] In the teaching material of this embodiment, some English word can be completed by combining parts of English words displayed on the outer surface areas of at least two solids 5, 6, and 7. For example, when "in" attached to an outer surface area of ​​a solid 5 is combined with "form" attached to an outer surface area of ​​another solid 6, the English word "inform" is completed. It is also possible to complete an English word using three or more solids 5, 6, and 7. For example, when "re" attached to an outer surface area of ​​a solid 5 is combined with "port" attached to an outer surface area of ​​another solid 6, and "er" attached to a display area of ​​another solid 7, the English word "reporter" is completed.

[0016] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. It goes without saying that the characters or phrases to which the teaching materials according to the present invention are applicable are not limited to Chinese characters or English words. Learning materials for characters other than Chinese characters, such as Roman letters or Hangul letters, may be created. In that case, different vowels or consonants are displayed on the multiple outer surface areas of each solid body. Learning materials for words in languages ​​other than English may be created.

[0017] The shape of the solids that are components of the teaching material according to the present invention is not limited to a regular hexahedron, but may be any shape that has multiple outer surface areas with different orientations, such as a regular tetrahedron, regular octahedron, regular dodecahedron, regular dihedron, prism, or rectangular cylinder. In addition, a part of a letter or phrase is added to each outer surface area of ​​each solid, and the teaching material allows the user to combine multiple solids to complete a letter or phrase.

[0018] The three-dimensional object constituting the teaching material according to the present invention may have other uses. For example, it is conceivable to create teaching materials according to the present invention using multiple outer surface areas of stationery such as an eraser (which may be the eraser itself or a sleeve that encases the eraser) or a writing instrument.

[0019] In addition, the specific configuration of each part can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]

Teaching materials in which parts of words (prefixes, roots, and suffixes of English words) are displayed on the outer surface of each solid object.
