Abstract
A gameboard having a square array of different colored adjacent squares is slidably received in a box containing a plurality of square holes formed by upright criss-crossed partitions. The squares on the gameboard are positioned beneath one of the holes. Different colored balls, corresponding to the colors of the squares on the gameboard, are dropped through a funnel mounted above the box and come to rest in one of the holes. The balls are replaced by correspondingly colored marking discs. The process is repeated until all squares on the gameboard are covered with the discs and then the mathematical probabilities of a particular ball landing on a particular square are compared with the actual occurrence.
Claims5
Educational game apparatus comprising:
- a gameboard provided with a square array of adjacent squares on one surface thereof, each adjacent square being distinguished from another;
- a box including a slot in the front surface thereof slidably receiving said gameboard, in a substantially horizontal plane, said box having a plurality of criss-crossed upright partitions forming square holes positioned above each of the squares on said gameboard;
- a funnel;
- means supporting said funnel on said box above the intersection of the central ones of said partitions;
- a pair of balls each of which corresponds to one of the distinguished adjacent squares on said gameboard adapted to be thrown through said funnel to bounce along the upper edges of said partitions and come to rest in one of said square holes above one of the squares of said gameboard;
- and
- a disc having a marking corresponding to either of said balls adapted to be positioned on the gameboard on the square on which said corresponding ball comes to rest.
