How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. Recommended for children aged five and up, the game employs a unique pedagogical approach based on discovery and experimentation. In a vibrant and playful environment, players learn to solve equations by manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board. As they progress, these cards are gradually replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the operations they've been mastering throughout the game.
The game is designed to be self-guided, though parents can assist in transferring the skills learned in the game to solving equations on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for parents to engage with 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.
