How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to key algebraic concepts such as:
- Addition
- Division
- Multiplication
Suitable for children aged five and above, the game employs a unique pedagogical approach centered on discovery and experimentation. In a vibrant and engaging game environment, players learn to solve equations by manipulating 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 of addition, division, and multiplication that the player has been mastering.
The game is designed to be self-directed, though parents can assist in translating the skills learned in the 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.
