  • Patent number: 6729883
    Abstract: The present invention consists of a numeric teaching device having a plurality of spinning wheels mounted on an axle and a decimal point indicator appearing between two groups of spinning wheels, with each spinning wheel containing the digits 0 through 9 printed on the outer annular surface of the spinning wheel in columnar form so that when the wheels are spun, different numeric formulations may be created by the user of the device. The axle containing the spinning wheels is supported by three dowel rods secured to a wood base, with each dowel rod further having a cradle at its upper end for communicating with the axle. The device is especially important in teaching numeric place values, numeration or the formation of numbers, and the rounding of numbers.
