Gameplay and Learning
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox playfully introduces core algebraic concepts:
- Addition
- Division
- Multiplication
Designed for ages five and up, the game uses a unique learning method based on discovery and experimentation. Children solve puzzles by manipulating cards to isolate a "DragonBox" (representing the variable X) on one side of the game board. Gradually, cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the underlying mathematical operations.
While unsupervised play is possible, parents can help children apply their in-game skills to solving equations on paper. It's a great game for parents and kids to enjoy together, and a fun way for adults to brush up on their own math skills.
Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox is a recognized leader in game-based learning, and has been the subject of significant research at the University of Washington's Center for Game Science.
