How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to fundamental algebraic concepts such as:
- Addition
- Division
- Multiplication
Recommended for children aged five and up, the game employs a unique pedagogical approach centered on discovery and experimentation. Players engage in a vibrant, playful environment where they manipulate cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board. This process mirrors the steps needed to isolate the variable X in an equation. As players progress, cards are gradually replaced with numbers and variables, unveiling the operations they've been mastering.
The game is designed for independent play, but parents can also participate, helping children translate their in-game skills to solving equations on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for family bonding and for parents to refresh their own math skills.
Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has earned acclaim for its game-based learning approach. It has been the subject of extensive research by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.
