Abstract: A teaching system comprising a set of magnetic playing pieces, a display mitt comprising a first panel being associated with the palm of a user of the mitt; including a flexible metallic layer for attracting at least one magnet, an exterior layer covering the flexible layer of the first panel; a second panel associated with the back of a hand of a user of the mitt; a hand space formed between the first and second panels for receiving at least a portion of a hand of a person so as to provide a firm display surface on at least one of the first and second panels; and a hand entrance opening providing access to the hand space so that the mitt may by worn and taken off; whereby the first and second panels form a wearable mitt that can receive the magnetic playing pieces associated with teaching or playing games.

Abstract: A multiple activity apparatus is disclosed for educational, therapeutic, or recreational use comprising three rectangular frame members joined at abutting ends in a triangular configuration having open triangular ends. The triangular configuration has a base and upwardly converging sides with a utility board mounted in each respective frame member. Each board has an exterior work surface so that a pair of upright work surfaces are selectively positionable for use at any one time. A method of utilizing visual teaching aids comprises the steps of assembling three utility panels each having a side surface useful as a teaching aid; disconnectably joining each of the three panels in juxtaposition forming at least two junctures between panels with the exterior surfaces positioned at an angle for use as teaching aids; and stacking the three boards generally flat forming an assembly for transport.
