Abstract
A container member is arranged to include a surrounding wall, having a first support wall arranged to accommodate a row of peg members, that in turn are rotatably mounted about an axle, with a second support wall spaced from the first support wall and axle to accommodate the peg members upon rotation of the peg members from the first support wall, such that each peg member includes a digital enumeration upon an end wall of a respective peg member. Upon the throwing of dice onto the floor of the container, the total of the dice thusly rolled is replicated by the enumeration of the peg members until further replication by further throwing of the dice is not available.
Claims4
A math game apparatus, comprising,
- a container, the container having a floor, a first side wall spaced from a second side wall, and a first end wall spaced from a second end wall, and
- an axle extending between the first side wall and the second side wall spaced above the floor, and between the first end wall and the second end wall, and
- a row of peg members rotatably mounted about the axle, each peg member having a peg member numbered end wall, with each numbered end wall including a digital enumeration imparted therein, and
- at least one dice member, with the at least one dice member directed to generate a predetermined number total and to replicate that number total by rotation of sufficient of said peg members to duplicate the total, each said numbered end wall of said sufficient peg members equalling said total, and
- a first support wall extending between the first side wall and the second side wall and between the axle and the second end wall for receiving each peg member thereon in the first position, wherein the first support wall is positioned between the axle and the floor, and a second support wall oriented between the axle and the first end wall for receiving each peg member upon rotation of each said peg member to a second position from a first position, wherein each said peg member of said row of peg members is received upon said first support wall, and
- at least one of said peg members having a transparent window in said numbered end wall of said at least one of said peg members, and illumination means in said at least one of said peg members for directing illumination through said transparent window in said first position.
