Abstract
Mathematical teaching apparatuses and methods of use are provided herein. In one embodiment a mathematical teaching apparatus includes a frame having a plurality of spaced apart rods, and an equal number of beads disposed on each of the plurality of spaced apart rods to create beaded rows. Each of the equal number of beads of the beaded rows is identical in size such that the beaded rows form a square when the beaded rows are disposed on a furthermost edge of the frame.
Claims16
A mathematical teaching apparatus, comprising:
- a frame comprising ten spaced apart rods forming ten rows;
- and
- ten beads disposed on each of the ten rods;
- wherein the spacing between said rods and the size of the beads are dimensioned such that the ten rows each comprising ten beads form a square when the beads are disposed in a resting position.

A mathematical teaching apparatus, comprising:
- a frame comprising a plurality of spaced apart rods within the frame;
- and
- an equal number of beads disposed on each of the plurality of spaced apart rods to create beaded rows, wherein each of the equal number of beads of the beaded rows are identical in size such that the beaded rows form a square when the beaded rows are disposed on a furthermost edge of the frame.
A method, comprising:
- displaying a mathematical teaching apparatus in the form of a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a display of a plurality of spaced apart rods;
- and
- a display of an equal number of beads disposed on each of the plurality of spaced apart rods to create beaded rows, wherein each of the equal number of beads of the beaded rows are identical in size such that the beaded rows form a square when the beaded rows are disposed in a resting field configuration;
- and
- receiving user input to move at least portion of the beads of the beaded rows to slide a portion of the beads along their respective rods to graphically illustrate any of geometric values and angles.
