Mathematical and logical board game
  • The problem to be solved:
    A fun-like way of teaching Mathematics to primary school children.
  • Definition:
    The invention is a board game that can be played by 2-6 people which consists of a board of squared pattern 4 sets of tokens numbered from 1 to 20, in all 80 tokens, and 140 pieces of tokens provided with +, - , x , / , = symbols.
  • Presentation:
    The players form equalities by placing their tokens on the board successively. They can cross or organise into chains the equalities on the board.

    To create a new equaities maximally 2 pieces of numbered tokens and an unlimited number of tokens with +, - , x , / , = may be used. If the player has used 2 pieces of numbered tokens, it is the next player's turn.
    If the player uses only 1 piece of numbered token, it is his/her turn again. Only numbered tokens can link, tokens with +, - , x , / , = may not link!

  • Application: The game can be applied in school teaching, and it can also be an outstanding new member of the family's collection of games..
  • Advantages: Children can get closer to mathematics by playing.
  • Stage of development: Prototype.
  • Documentation available: Yes
