How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. Tailored for children aged five and above, the game encourages learners to experiment and use their creativity within a colorful and interactive environment. Players engage with the game by manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board, gradually learning how to isolate the variable X in an equation. As players progress, cards transform into numbers and variables, unveiling the mathematical operations they've been mastering throughout the game.

The game supports independent play but also offers a great opportunity for parents to join in, helping children transfer their in-game skills to solving equations on paper. It's an excellent way for parents to refresh their own math skills while bonding with their kids.

Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been lauded 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 effectiveness as an educational tool.
