ABSTRACT:
An educational aid and educational method for teaching pattern recognition and numerical skills to young children. The aid includes plural groups of game pieces each incorporating a different number of game pieces, the game pieces in different groups bearing different indicia such as different colors. The child matches the game pieces to matching target areas in a series of matching operations requiring progressively higher levels of abstract reasoning, ranging from simple color matching to matching the number of pieces to a numeral. The matching target areas may be defined on a substrate and on a series of auxiliary matching targets, each associated with one group of game pieces. The game pieces may be attached to the auxiliary matching targets and the resulting assemblies may then be matched to matching target areas on the substrate.
