Trove Math

The Pairtate Junior comes with three fun games: Group Line, Group Side, and Group Pair.

Overview of the Games:

This game has nine circles, each with four shapes inside the circle: a yellow circle, a cyan square, a red oval, and a blue triangle.

Objective: link all of the circles to each other. Two circles are linked together when the adjoining shapes match. To win, each circle must be linked to all of the circles surrounding it. For example, the circle at the center of the screen must be linked to all four circles surrounding it.

Rotation groups:

Let's assign a number to each of these nine circles. The three circles of the first row from left to right are 1, 2, and 3. The three circles of the second row from left to right are 4, 5, and 6. The three circles of the third row from left to right are 7, 8, and 9.

There are four rotation groups in the Group Line game.  The group 1 contains circles 1, 5, and 9. The group 2 contains circles 2, 5, and 8. The group 3 contains circles 3, 5, and 7. The group 4 contains circles 4, 5, and 6.

There are five rotation groups in the Group Side game.  The group 1 contains circles 1, 2, and 3. The group 2 contains circles 3, 6, and 9. The group 3 contains circles 7, 8, and 9. The group 4 contains circles 1, 4, and 7. The group 5 contains circle 5.

There are nine rotation groups in the Group Pair game.  The group 1 contains circles 1 and 2. The group 2 contains circles 2 and 3. The group 3 contains circles 3 and 6. The group 4 contains circles 6 and 9.  The group 5 contains circles 8 and 9. The group 6 contains circles 7 and 8. The group 7 contains circles 4 and 7. The group 8 contains circles 1 and 4.
