Each of the secondary cogs represent a term of the algebraic equation and includes a coefficient and a variable. Each of the secondary cogs contains a number of teeth equal to the coefficient. The equation is solved by rotating the secondary cogs until the target tooth is aligned with a fixed pointer where rotation of the secondary cog represents a value input for the variable of a term. | 02-25-2016 |

| 20100203485 | Method for teaching multiplication and factorization - A method includes the steps of providing at least one whole number displayed in a discrete area and at least one factor from 1 to 10 for each at least one whole number. Each at least one factor is displayed in the discrete area occupied by the at least one whole number. Each factor from 1 to 10 is positioned in a unique horizontal and a unique vertical position relative to the other factors from 1 to 10 in the discrete area of the at least one whole number. Each factor from 1 to 10 is assigned with a unique indicia distinguishing that factor from each other factor from 1 to 10 that is not the same factor. The method can be used to teach skip counting, multiplication, division, multiples, fractions, factorization, and the like. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100285437 | DIDACTIC TOOLS FOR LEARNING MATHEMATICS - Didactic tools for learning mathematics contain a set of jigsaws, inserters, abacuses, three-dimensional arrangeable and separable models, mental maps, arranging pads, Multiplication tables without numbers, cylinders, and other spatially situated mathematical sizes and open the possibility of many combinations for arranging and displaying mathematical contents. These contents range from mathematical basis (relations, numbers and spaces, shapes and quantities) to theorems and rules of higher mathematical levels (multiplication, division, squaring, cubing, Pitagora's and binomial theorem, sum of square sequences and other regularities, some of which are new and unknown). With their inner consistency and coherence, they enable numerous combinations and research, and every tools can function independently in a clear and unambiguous way, based on natural mental abilities of logics and perception, close even to the earliest pre-school age. There is no need for additional instructions and lessons, or the knowledge of mathematical language, because the rules and relations are not proved by formulas, but are shown in a visible and tangible way. All this is achieved with a realistic display of quantities and their relations, the shape, position and colour, with the help of squares and cubeletes. It all enables arranging, categorizing, equalizing, joining, sequencing etc., so that adding or mere counting is sufficient for checking the visible quantities and their relations. They vividly enable discovery and understanding of mathematical laws by direct noting, by themselves. In that way they provide the joy of cognition, which enables more pleasurable, faster and easier understanding, practicing and memorizing. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20100003651 | COMMUNICATION BLOCKS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF CONVEYING INFORMATION BASED ON THEIR ARRANGEMENT - An apparatus is provided that includes a display, a communication interface, a processor, and a detection component configured to detect proximity of the apparatus with respect to one or more of the other apparatuses. The apparatus and other apparatuses may be formed into an arranged group of apparatuses, and in such instances, the processor is configured to receive corresponding indications from the detection component, and data from the other apparatuses in the group via the communication interface. The processor is configured to determine the number of apparatuses in the group, and the arrangement of one or more apparatuses in the group, including the arrangement of one or more other apparatuses not immediately adjacent the respective apparatus. The processor is also configured to calculate an output as a function of the number of apparatuses and arrangement, and configured to communicate the calculated output via the display. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20090081625 | MATHEMATICS TEACHING AID - An apparatus and method for teaching involving teaching manipulatives. The teaching manipulative comprises a longitudinal rod having a plurality of multi-faced objects disposed upon its surface which are capable of substantially sliding along the length of the rod and have a unique object identifier disposed on each face. On either end of the rod is a stop member having a row identifier substantially in alignment with the unique identifiers on the faces of the multi-faced object. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100279259 | MULTIPLICATION TEACHING AID - A teaching aid for facilitating in the learning and comprehension of multiplication tables is provided. The teaching aid includes a plurality of generally flat tabs including a front surface and a rear surface. At least one of the front surface or the rear surface is capable of having indicia displayed thereon. The tabs include a first end and a second end, the second end including an aperture. A retaining member extends through the aperture of the second end of each of the plurality of tabs for resiliently holding the plurality of tabs together while permitting each of the tabs to rotate with respect to the other. A plurality of indicia are displayed on at least one of the front or rear surface. Wherein, the indicia correspond to a graphical representation of the product of a first number and a second number to be multiplied. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100291517 | MATH GAME FOR TEACHING MULTIPLICATION - A math game for teaching multiplication tables is disclosed. The math game will teach multiplication of the numbers 6-10 and will also help to provide a review of the multiplication of numbers 0-4. The math game uses visual implements to assist with the learning process. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20140199668 | MULTIPLICATION TABLE TRAINING TOOL AND METHOD - A visual tool and method used to learn the multiplication tables of two single digit numbers, 1-9. The tool is a graphic grid divided into eighty-one equal size squares by nine vertical columns and nine vertical rows. The grid lines around each set of three columns and three rows are highlighted and form nine subset boxes each containing 9 squares. The entire grid or individual rows, columns or subset boxes are associated with at least one multiple from the set of integers 1-9. The squares in each row, column and each subset box are randomly associated with a known or unknown numeral value equal to the product of the multiple associated with the row, column or subset box and a published or unpublished multiplicand. Some of the squares in the rows, columns and subset boxes contain randomly distributed unique product clues and most are empty. In some levels, the multiplicands are determined from the product clues. By examining the product clue, its location in the row, column or subset box, identifying a multiplicand with a suitable range value that has not been previously used in the row, column, and subset box, the products are determined and imputed into the empty squares. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20150024352 | Noble's Columns - An entire column, written in a specific numerical order, different from traditional multiplication tables, is shown one at a time until all three Noble's Columns of the multipliers and solutions appear together. Without even knowing how to multiply, one can write these columns that end up with multiplication solutions. | 01-22-2015 |

One system includes removable cards representing the numerical symbol, the numerical quantity, and/or the numerical value of the single digit numbers of the base-10 number system on a digit alphabet table. The removable cards can then be used on student practice components to associate numerical symbol, the numerical quantity, and the numerical word with a corresponding number of unit blocks. The unit blocks are configured to be coupleable and to be used in conjunction with a place value mat that aids in learning magnitude of numbers. | 02-04-2016 |
