Math game and method

A method of playing a dominos-style mathematical operation game comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of rectangular shaped dominos each having a pair of longer side edges and a pair of shorter end edges, and a top face and a bottom face, the bottom face of each domino having a pair of equally sized end sections, each end section having a unique combination of a number indicia and a pair of contrasting mathematical signs chosen from the groups of a physical representation of addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, equality, calculus operations, comparison, and algebraic equations, one of the contrasting signs being operatively positioned on one of the end sections and the other one of the contrasting signs being operatively positioned on the other end section;
• placing the end edges of two of the dominos in contiguous relationship such that the mathematical signs of the end sections of the contiguous dominos match;
• and
• awarding a number of points generated by way of operating on numbers represented by the number indicia of the contiguous sides as a function of the mathematical sign.

A method of playing a mathematical dominos game comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of dominos shaped cards, each domino shaped card having a top face and a bottom face, each face being divided into a left side having an indicia and a right side having an indicia with a mathematical operation operatively positioned between the left side and the right side,
• prior to initiating the mathematical dominos game, each player randomly selects a predetermined numerical factor;
• providing each player with a corresponding hand of a predetermined subset of the dominos shaped cards with a remaining portion of the dominos shaped cards comprising a deck of non-active domino shaped cards;
• for the current player, selecting a domino shaped card from its hand to become an active card within an active deck of domino shaped cards defined by a plurality of adjacently aligned domino shaped cards based upon a corresponding adjacent numerical base;
• aligning the selected shaped domino card with a numerical base of an exposed side of a domino shaped card within the active deck;
• if the current player has no matching active domino shaped card within its hand, then go to allowing the current player to pull a domino shaped card from the deck of non-active domino shaped cards until a domino card is pulled that matches the numerical base of an exposed side within the active deck;
• simultaneously, the player selecting a mathematical operation on the domino shaped card and selecting a mathematical operation that formulates a mathematical equation using the numerical indicia means on the left side, the numerical indicia means on the right side and the selected mathematical operation that provides the current player with the most points based upon the exposed side of the domino shaped card;
• determining the current player total points by summing clock wise each of the most points on the exposed side of each shaped domino card of the active deck;
• determining the current player total points.
