Abstract:
1. An educational game for teaching addition and subtraction of whole numbers, said game consisting of: a soft carpet having game spaces indicated thereon, a length of 2 meters and a width of 60 cm and including 10 positively numbered spaces from +1 to +10 inclusive, a 0 space and 10 negatively numbered spaces from −1 to −10 inclusive and wherein said positively numbered spaces proceed upwardly in a zigzag direction from +1 to +10 each of said spaces having a dimension of 20 cm×20 cm, said 10 negatively numbered spaces proceeding downwardly in a zigzag direction from −1 to −10 inclusive and are separated from said positive numbered spaced by the 0 space with dimensions of 20 cm×40 cm; a single cube shaped die having six faces and wherein a first of said faces include a positive movement of two spaces, a second of said six faces indicating a move of −2 steps backward, and a third face indicating no movement, a fourth face indicating a movement of +1 space forward, a fifth face indicating one space back and a sixth face indicating one step forward plus another turn and wherein said die is made of cloth stuffed with cotton and said die having dimensions of 20 cm a first container for storing said single cube shaped die; six game pieces of six distinctive colors with a red, orange, yellow, green, light blue and dark blue game piece, and a second container for storing said six game pieces therein, wherein the positive spaces plus 1 to plus 10 inclusive proceed upwardly above the zero (0) space which is the start position for each player in the game and ascending zigzag pattern of positive spaces numbers plus a plus one space and plus two space that are disposed on a vertical line emanating from the center of the zero (0) space; the third positive space is to the right and slightly above the plus two space while the number plus four space is directly above the plus three space; the number five space and number six space are located on a horizontal line to the left of the number four space; the plus seven space is directly above the number plus six space while spaces plus eight and plus nine are to the right of spaces plus seven and plus eight respectively; the space plus ten is directly above the plus nine space and the ultimate goal is directly above the plus ten space; the negative spaces minus one to minus ten proceed downwardly in a zigzag pattern below the zero (0) space as follows; for example, the minus one and minus two spaces are disposed along a vertical line directly below one another; a third or minus three space is located to the right and below the minus two space with the minus four space directly below the minus three space; the minus five and minus six spaces are disposed on a generally horizontal line with the minus four space and to the left of the minus four space; the minus seven space is directly below the minus six space while the minus eight and minus nine spaces are angled downwardly below and to the right of the minus seven space; the minus ten space is directly below the minus nine space and a “you lose” space is directly below the minus ten space.
