Addition Table Teacher

6+ years old

This science toy embodies such cultural trends by providing fun ways to learn arithmetic and by bringing mathematics into the home as well as school. I suggest that the intelligent kid bridged the boundaries between school and home, work and play, and adulthood and childhood.
When you set the feet to a specific combination of numbers, seen along the bottom of the wood plate, say '4' and '9', the intelligent kid adds them together and comes up with the answer '13'. Any combination of numbers from 1 to 12 can be added together, and although you can't point both feet to the same number, e.g. to add '5' plus '5', there is a 'square' feature, to allow you to work out 5 squared.
