Arithmetic game in which slots in playing pieces give solutions to arithmetic problems

Claim 1

A mathematical match game comprising: a. a four-sided game board having a playing surface including: 1. at least four coded sections; 2. each of said sections comprising approximately one-fourth of said playing surface; 3. each of said sections including a progressive series of numbered areas, said numbered areas increasing in value from adjacent the center of said sections outwardly toward each of said sides of said playing surface; 4. each of said numbered areas being divided into at least one facet of basic mathematics, division, subtraction, addition and multiplication; 5. each of said areas having progressively increasing numerals impressed thereon, from left to right, top to bottom, said impressed numerals for each area being determined by the number of said area and thereafter dividing, subtracting, adding or multiplying, depending on which facet of basic mathematics is used, said numeral into the numeral one for the top left-hand corner impressed numeral, and in sequence thereafter beginning with the numeral two from left to right, top to bottom for each area; b. at least four sets of a plurality of blocks, each of said sets being coded to match a corresponding section; c. one of each of said blocks of one of each of said sets having a numeral impressed thereon matching a corresponding number of said numbered areas of one of each of said sections of said game board; d. each of said playing blocks having a slot, said slot being positioned in said block depending on the area number of said block wherein block number one of any of said four sections has a slot in the top left-hand corner of said block and succeeding slots are placed in succeeding blocks sequentially from left to right, top to bottom; e. each of said coded blocks being positioned initially on one section of said game board opposite from said correspondingly coded section, said blocks being positioned initially to match numbered areas with numbered blocks; f. each section having one move forward, or laterally into adjacent areas, or over adjacent block into vacant areas with said block, said moves being in rotating sequence; g. each of said coded blocks being moved into its correspondingly coded section wherein the side attaining the highest number is the winner of said game, the highest number normally being achieved by attempting to match the highest numbered blocks with the highest numbered areas which positions said slots in said block in such position relative to said area such that multiplication, addition, subtraction and division of the number of said area relative to the number of said area relative to the number of said block is obtained by the position of said slot.
