How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. Suitable for children aged five and above, the game employs a unique pedagogical approach centered on discovery and experimentation. In a vibrant and playful environment, players learn to solve equations by manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox, which gradually transitions into isolating the variable X. As players progress, the game seamlessly introduces numbers and variables, teaching them the operations needed to solve equations.
The game is designed for independent play, but parents can also participate, helping children apply their newfound skills to solve 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 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, underscoring its educational value.
