Abstract: An educational kit for teaching mathematics includes easily manipulated elements, which serve as cognitive reinforcement during the learning process. These physical elements are used in conjunction with a set of grouping rules. The educational kit and corresponding grouping rules determine a model and process to represent both an algebraic linear equation and its algebraic solution. A simple element, such as an item/figure including a variable “X”, is used to denote the unknown quantity. An item/figure including a number is used to represent a numerical value. These items/figures contain the exact elements used to form the expressions of the linear equation and are not items/figures that simulate the elements that form the expressions of the equation. By the use of this educational kit and associated grouping, students learn to simplify a given linear algebraic equation to the point where the solution is obvious.

Abstract: Dynamic industrial vehicle monitoring for modification of vehicle operator behavior comprises identifying a metric that characterizes an event associated with the operator of an industrial vehicle, the metric having a pre-action trigger that defines when the event is predicted to occur, a performance parameter to evaluate against the event and a behavior modification action that corresponds to a desired operator behavior in response to the event. Monitoring operation of the industrial vehicle is carried out for the event. Upon detecting an occurrence of the event, event data is recorded that characterizes a response of a vehicle operator to the event. The recorded event data is evaluated against at least one performance parameter associated with the corresponding metric to determine whether the vehicle operator demonstrated appropriate behavior for the event. A vehicle operator score is updated based upon the evaluation and the updated vehicle operator score is communicated.
