  • Patent number: 5314190
    Abstract: A mathematical game comprising a plurality of elongate tiles adapted to be laterally or longitudinally located on a playing surface. The elongate tiles comprising a set of numerical tiles bearing a numerical symbol and a set of operational tiles bearing a mathematical operation symbol and a numerical symbol. On the operational tiles the numerical symbol is located to the right side of the tile and the mathematical operation symbol is located to the left side of the tile. Three tiles consisting of two numerical tiles and one operational tile are linearly arrangeable on the playing surface to form a mathematical equation such that the operational tile is locatable between the two numerical tiles. The operational tile reflects the mathematical relationship between the numerical tiles. The operational tiles are provided with a visual distinguishing characteristic so that when the tiles are arranged in an equation the operational tile distinguishes one side of the equation from the other.
