How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. Suitable for children aged five and up, the game employs a unique pedagogical approach centered on discovery and experimentation. Players engage in a vibrant game setting, manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox, which gradually transitions into learning how to isolate the variable X in an equation. As players progress, cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the operations they've been mastering.
The game is designed for independent play, though parents can assist in transferring the skills learned in-game to solving equations on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for family bonding, allowing parents to refresh their own math skills while playing with their children.
Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been recognized for its innovative approach to game-based learning. It has been the subject of extensive research by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington, underscoring its educational value.
