WARNING! Each Laser Peg® draws current from the batteries. Therefore, the more
pegs you use, the quicker you will deplete your battery power! As the power
weakens, the current will slowly fail and some Laser Pegs® will illuminate (typically
the reds and yellows) and some won’t. When the Laser Pegs® dim, the Laser Pegs®
are not broken, they just need stronger batteries or an AC Adapter.
You have 3 simple options...
1. Use a 5-volt AC Adapter –available from www.LaserPegs.com
2. Change the batteries.
3. Use high quality batteries. They will last a little longer, but they will still deplete rapidly the more Laser Pegs® you connect!

EDUCATIONAL
SERIES
EDUCATIONAL
LEARNING
EXERCISES
Have someone else (parent, another player,
etc.) check your answers for all games.
For timed games try having a friend count
out loud: 1 Laser Peg, 2 Laser Peg…
Items Needed: Number Blocks, Triangle Power Base
Goal: Be the first to use all of your blocks.
3. Number Spin
Stack the Number Blocks onto the Triangle
Power Base, putting them in order (facing
you) from 0 to 9. Then randomly spin the
Number Blocks. Time how quickly you can
twist them back into order. Repeat the game
trying to beat your time.
Flip a coin to decide which player goes first.
Play continues counterclockwise.
4. Arithmetic Twist
1. Squares And Triangles
Players: 2
Mix up and stack all of the Number Blocks onto the
Triangle Power Base in a single tower. Take turns
between the two players, removing each of the
Number Blocks one by one. On your turn, guess
what shape will be on the top of the next Number
Block before you remove it. If you guess correctly
you may keep the block. Guess wrong and the
other player gets the block. Proceed until all of the
Number Blocks are gone. The player with the most
Number Blocks wins.
Using the + - / x Block, the = Block, and the
Number Blocks, stack an equation onto
the Triangle Power Base. Twist the Number Blocks to cycle through your number
choices and add, subtract, multiply, and
divide solving as many equations as possible until you have no more equations to
solve.
Gameplay:
1. Divide the Number Blocks evenly between two
players.
3. Player 2 must then add a Number Block from their
pile onto the top of the Number Block that is on
the Triangle Power Base being sure to match that
number.
Gameplay:
1. Place the Number Blocks together and mix
them up.
Rules:
1. To add a Number Block to a stack, the Number
Block must match the previous Number Block on
one side (for example, a block with a 2, 7, 4 and 1
could be placed on top of a 2, 0, 6, 5 block because they both have a 2 on one of their sides).
2. If a player cannot add to the stack, they must take
Number Blocks from the bottom of the tower
until they have a matching Number Block.
To Win: The player to use all of their Number Blocks
first wins.
Items Needed: Number Blocks, Triangle Power Base
Goal: To collect all of the Number Blocks.
2. Say The Number
Attach a Number Block onto the Triangle Power
Base. Call out the number on the side facing
you. Turn the block and repeat.
Mix-and-match learning exercises and
even make up your own!
“ELE” exercises can be downloaded at
www.LaserPegs.com.
Items Needed: Number Blocks, Triangle Power
Base, Pencil, Paper
Goal: To find as many balanced equations as possible.
Players: 2
Choose a random number from the Number Blocks
and attach it onto the Triangle Power Base with that
number facing you. Use the remaining Number
Blocks to create as many equations as possible that
equal the number that is facing you on the Triangle
Power Base.
Players: 2
2. Player 1 places a Number Block from their pile
onto the Triangle Power Base.
7. Ultimate Numbers
5. Equations
8. Balance The Equation
Gameplay:
1. Divide the Number Blocks between two players.
2. Player 1 uses the Number Blocks to create an
equation onto the Triangle Power Base.
3. Player 2 must then use different Number Blocks
to make an equation onto the Triangle Power
Base that is equal to the value of Player 1’s
equation.
4. Both players must now work together to switch
around the Number Blocks in the two equations while keeping the equations balanced.
You may use any of the sides of the Number
Blocks in play.
5. Continue until you have made as many balanced equations as possible. Try to beat the
number of equations you can find.
Rules:
1. Each player must take turns placing their
equation onto the Triangle Power Base.
2. Each player must simultaneously create an
equation. (Remember to use the + - / x Block
and the = Block.)
3. Each equation must be mathmatically correct.
2. With each turn the two players pick random
blocks and attach one of their Number Blocks to
the Triangle Power Base.
4. No equation can be repeated.
3. The player with the higher value Number Block
gets both of the Number Blocks.
6. Each equation is worth 1 point.
Rules:
1. The value of the Number Block is equal to the sum
of all its sides. (ie. A block with the numbers 6, 5,
2, 0 on its side would be equal to 6 + 5 + 2 + 0 =
13)
2. Any symbol on the side of the Number Block that
is not a number (# , ! , ( , ) , ? , / , + , - , x , = , . , % , , )
is equal to 0.
To Win: The player who collects all of the Number
Blocks first wins.
5. Keep track on a sheet of paper which equations each player has made.
7. The player that has made the most equations
at the end of the game wins.
Duration Choices:
1. Play until no more equations can be made.
2. Play until a set point score is reached.
3. Play until a set number of equations are made.
