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.

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.

The present invention is directed to interactive training, and in particular, to methods and systems for computerized interactive skill training. An example embodiment provides a method and system for providing skill training using a computerized system. The computerized system receives a selection of a first training subject. Several related training components can be invoked, such as reading, watching, performing, and/or reviewing components. In addition, a scored challenge session is provided, wherein a training challenge is provided to a user via a terminal, optionally in video form.

A digital input device includes a sensor that detects an electronic pen and outputs coordinates according to positions pointed by the electronic pen, a display device, an operation button, a processor, and a storage device storing a program that causes the digital input device to: display, on the display device, a predetermined template according to a format indicated by template data and inputted information according to the position pointed by the electronic pen and received via the sensor; provide timepoint information at each timepoint, generate pieces of time-series data based on the timepoint information provided at each timepoint, each of the pieces of the time-series data including: a timepoint value indicated by the timepoint information, coordinate values indicated by the coordinates output from the sensor, a writing pressure value, and a button status value; and store answer information and correction information in association with the template data indicating the format.

An image forming apparatus that is capable of obtaining and printing a file stored in a management system, and makes it possible to perform printing with enhanced user convenience by improving coordination between the management system and the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, and a processor that causes the image forming apparatus to function as an obtaining unit that obtains post data relating to the file; and a print control unit that causes the printing unit to print the file and post information included in the post data obtained by the obtaining unit.

An arithmetic game is played by selecting a target value that is an integer between 1 and 9. A field of initial integers is selected and subsequent fields of integers are generated by strategically selecting and combining integers from the field of initial integers or from another subsequent field of integers. At least one combined integer or at least one operated integer is added to, subtracted from, multiplied by, or divided by at least one other combined integer or at least one other operated integer to produce at least one sum, difference, product, or quotient that is a calculated integer. Subsequent fields of integers are created until a target field is created with no carried integers and the remaining calculated or combined integers are added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided to produce a sum, difference, product, or quotient that is the target value.

There are provided a learning recommendation apparatus and method for detecting a problem from an image through character recognition and providing at least one sub-topic learning among a plurality of sub-topic learnings related to the detected problem. The provided learning recommendation apparatus recommends, as a recommendation target, a plurality of learning topics including the concept of a formula which has been read through the character recognition for an image, wherein a priority order is set to the plurality of learning topics based on the concept distance between the learning topic and the learning history, and the learning topics are recommended so that the learning topic having a higher priority order is located at a higher position.

A system and method for education game for kids that help learning basic math skills. The method includes the steps of presenting on a screen generated by an interface module, a number of blocks of different shapes. Each block on the screen touches at least one adjacent block. Moves has to be made from a first selected block to next consecutive blocks to form a path, wherein a selected block must be in touch with last selected block.

A learning aid including a series of symbols and movable portions. Each of the movable portions is associated with at least one of the symbols and is movable by hand from a first position to a second position to select the at least one of the symbols.

A learning aid including a series of symbols and movable portions. Each of the movable portions is associated with at least one of the symbols and is movable by hand from a first position to a second position to select the at least one of the symbols.
