How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to fundamental algebraic concepts such as:

• Addition
• Division
• Multiplication

Recommended for children aged five and up, this game uses a unique pedagogical approach based on discovery and experimentation. Players engage in a colorful game environment where they manipulate cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board. As they progress, these cards transform into numbers and variables, gradually revealing the operations needed to solve equations. This method encourages experimentation and creativity, allowing players to learn how to isolate X on one side of an equation through play.

The game is designed to be self-directed, though parents can assist in helping children transfer their newly acquired skills to solving equations on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for parents to play alongside their kids, potentially refreshing their own math skills in the process.

Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been recognized for its innovative approach to game-based learning. It has formed the basis for extensive research by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.
