Ugears STEM Lab Arithmetic Set: Assemble the Arithmetic Kit and discover how the Mechanical Addiator and Mechanical Multiplier work. The model kit comes with a QR-code to the study guide about the mechanisms, the principal of their working, the main characteristics, formulas. It also includes interesting assignments. Dive into augmented reality and look at how Mechanical Addiator and Mechanical Multiplier work. Interact with the models via a special AR application from Ugears.
Ugears’ Arithmetic Kit, part of Ugears’ stem lab collection, consists of two ready-to-assemble models a mechanical addiator and a mechanical multiplier.
Components of the Mechanical Addiator and Mechanical Multiplier, and how they work
The Mechanical Addiator consists of a housing in which four rails or racks are set, with printed values on them. A stylus is used to input values. Numbers are entered from cam slots, and the results are displayed in four centre windows. Before starting an addition/subtraction operation using the stylus, the racks should be set so that all windows display “0”. The value of the number on which the operation is performed is first entered using the top row of slots; the top slots are then used to add a second number, while the bottom ones are used for subtraction.
The Mechanical Multiplier consists of two sliders that move along a number line (1-12), and a lever system that transfers the movement of the sliders to a Results window, which moves along a value field. As you move the two sliders between different number values, the product of their multiplication will appear in the Results window. In order to multiply a number by itself (to square it), the right slider should be moved to the extreme right position and fixed at the “X2” symbol.

STEM lab Model kits come with all you need in a box. Just like the rest of Ugears wooden model kits, putting STEM Lab models together is fun and comprehensive: everything you need to build, learn, and discover comes in a box. There you will find:
Wooden details are pre-cut with a precise high-tech laser in high-quality plywood boards, as well as other materials required for assembly. DIY kits need no glue or additional instruments to build. The details come out of the board with a slight push. Step-by-step illustrated instruction manual of 3D puzzle assembly. Practical Lab tasks with the use of your model.
