An educational kit for teaching mathematics includes easily manipulated elements, which serve as cognitive reinforcement during the learning process. These physical elements are used in conjunction with a set of grouping rules. The educational kit and corresponding grouping rules determine a model and process to represent both an algebraic linear equation and its algebraic solution. A simple element, such as an item/figure including a variable “X”, is used to denote the unknown quantity. An item/figure including a number is used to represent a numerical value. These items/figures contain the exact elements used to form the expressions of the linear equation and are not items/figures that simulate the elements that form the expressions of the equation. By the use of this educational kit and associated grouping, students learn to simplify a given linear algebraic equation to the point where the solution is obvious.
