How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. The game employs a unique pedagogical approach, allowing players to learn through discovery and experimentation. By manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board, players gradually master the operations needed to solve equations. As they progress, cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the underlying math operations.

The game is designed for independent play, though parents can assist in transferring the skills learned in the game to solving equations on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for family bonding, as parents can also 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.
