How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. It's recommended for children aged five and up, offering a unique learning experience through discovery and experimentation. The game environment is playful and colorful, encouraging players to experiment and use their creative skills. By manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board, players gradually learn the operations needed to isolate X in an equation. As they progress, cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the mathematical operations they've been mastering.
The game is designed to be self-guided, but 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 play alongside their children and even refresh their own math skills.
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.
