How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces several key algebraic concepts, including:

• Addition
• Division
• Multiplication

Designed for children aged five and up, this app helps young learners familiarize themselves with the basics of solving equations. The game employs a unique pedagogical approach based on discovery and experimentation. Players engage in a colorful and playful environment where they are encouraged to experiment and use their creativity. By manipulating cards and attempting to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board, players gradually learn the operations needed to isolate the variable X in an equation. As the game progresses, cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the mathematical operations the player has been learning.

While supervision is not required, parents can help children transfer the skills learned in the game to solving equations on paper. This game also serves as a fun way for 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 excellence in game-based learning and has been the subject of extensive research by the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington.
