    摘要: A building set includes a tray having a first row and a second row, each having a plurality of marker positions. The example building set also includes a plurality of markers configured for interchangeably fitting with the marker positions on the tray. A connection mechanism has a first connection on a first side of the markers, a second connection on a second side of the markers, and a third connection at each of the marker positions. The third connection interchangeably mates with the first connection and the second connection of the plurality of markers. The connection mechanism is at least one of hook-and-loop and magnetic, and may be biased toward one side of the markers to aid in subtraction. The tray and markers are configurable in various exercises and games to teach at least one of numeracy, arithmetic, and spelling.

    摘要: Systems and methods for education instrumentation can include one or more servers configured generate a plurality of models for modeling various aspects of an education process using training data related to academic performance of students. The one or more servers can collect data from client devices associated with various education institutions or stakeholders throughout a life cycle of the education process. The one or more servers can use the generated models and the collected data to assess the addressing of education standards and predict or estimate performance metrics associated with the education process. The one or more servers can provide computed metrics or assessments of how well education standards are addressed to one or more client devices for display.

    摘要: A method of automatically providing personalized augmented mathematical learning content and activities to users of an online learning platform is described. Upon detecting that a user has captured an image or a video stream, one or more points of interest in the image or video stream are determined. Augmented mathematical information is then detected for the one or more points of interest and superimposed on the captured image or video stream.

    摘要: A magnetic building set and method for teaching numeracy and spelling is disclosed. An example magnetic building set includes a plurality of trays that receive a plurality of unit markers implemented in various manipulative exercises and games that teach numeracy, elementary arithmetic, story arithmetic problems, geometric shapes, and spelling. The magnetic building set enables a user to build a plurality of geometric shapes, structures, and other constructions. Trays can be provided to represent a plurality of numeric quantities. A tray and marker assembly representing a specific numeric quantity can be manipulated as a whole, while the unit markers contained therein are visible to the student and can be viewed, manipulated, arranged and counted individually. Students are instructed to manipulate the trays and markers in various exercises in order to learn counting, number composition and decomposition, subitizing of quantities, arithmetic operations, place value, story arithmetic problems, geometric shapes, and spelling.

    摘要: A device for teaching counting binary numbers (base 2) includes a frame having a plurality grooves with sliders deployed within said grooves. The device bears a plurality of zero indicia, each indicia aligned with one of the grooves. Extending from the slider is a label “1” which overlays the corresponding zero indicia when the slider is moved to a first end of the groove to indicate that its value is operative. Each of the sliders are labelled in binary progression (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.). In use, the device can teach the 0's and 1's representation of a decimal base number by correlating the visible 0's and 1's on the device with the sum of the numbers displayed on the sliders. In addition to decimal numbers, the device may also be used to convert binary numbers into hexadecimal numbers and other base systems, and to convert binary numbers into text.

    摘要: A storage medium storing therein a program, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a game system and a mobile device are disclosed. For example, disclosed is a non-transitory storage medium storing therein a program that is readable by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the program being configured to cause the computer to: acquire input coordinates of input performed based on an operation performed by a user; generate drawing information for displaying a path corresponding to the input coordinates on a display apparatus; determine a movement direction of the input based on a change in the input coordinates, which are acquired continuously while the input is performed; generate sound information of a virtual writing sound that is changed based on the movement direction in response to the input coordinates changing; and output the sound information of the virtual writing sound to a speaker.

    摘要: The present invention automatically replaces in an assessment response a string of mathematical symbols determined to be ambiguous with an unambiguous string of mathematical symbols. An editing tool may receive an assessment response from a client over a communication network. The assessment response may comprise i) a text with a mathematical meaning and ii) a string of mathematical symbols. The text and the string of mathematical symbols represent different non-overlapping characters in the assessment response. The editing tool may match the string of mathematical symbols with a known ambiguous string of mathematical symbols and determine the mathematical meaning in the text of the assessment response. The editing tool may replace the string of mathematical symbols determined to be ambiguous with an unambiguous string of mathematical symbols to generate an updated assessment response. The editing tool may transmit the updated assessment response to the client for display.
