How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox covers key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. Recommended for children aged five and up, the game employs a unique pedagogical approach centered around discovery and experimentation. Players engage in a playful and colorful game environment, manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the board. This action mirrors the process of isolating variables in equations. As players progress, the cards transform into numbers and variables, gradually introducing the mathematical operations they've been practicing.

The game is designed for independent play, though parents can assist in applying the learned skills to traditional equation-solving on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for family learning, helping both children and parents to refresh their math skills.

Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been acclaimed for its innovative approach to game-based learning and is the subject of research by the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington.
