ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a teaching aid, and more particularly to a teaching aid for developing a child's intelligence.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The conventional way of teaching the preschoolers is fixed, mechanical, and monotonous at best. For example, the preschoolers are taught to answer by rote. It is therefore readily apparent that the conventional way of teaching preschoolers is not effective in helping the preschoolers develop their ability to learn or understand from experience. The effective way of teaching the preschoolers must be able to draw the interest of the preschoolers such that they are actively involved in the learning process.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a teaching aid capable of helping a child develop his or her ability to learn or understand from experience.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a teaching aid comprising a base and a plurality of sliding members. The base has a pathway portion consisting of a plurality of intersecting paths in which the sliding members slide. Each of the sliding members carries a word, pattern, or symbol. A child is taught to slide the predetermined sliding members along the predetermined paths to arrive at the predetermined positions of the pathway portion of the base such that the words, patterns, or symbols of these sliding members form a series of words or a figure.
The foregoing objective, features and functions of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of two preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
