How the Game Works
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to essential algebraic concepts through a playful and engaging method. The game covers:
- Addition
- Division
- Multiplication
It's recommended for children aged five and up, offering a gentle introduction to equation solving. The pedagogical approach is centered around discovery and experimentation, allowing players to learn in a colorful game environment. By manipulating cards and isolating the DragonBox on one side of the game board, players gradually understand the operations needed to isolate the variable X in an equation. As they progress, cards transform into numbers and variables, revealing the operators they've been working with.
The game can be played independently, but parents can also get involved, helping children transfer their in-game skills to solving equations on paper. It's a fantastic opportunity for family bonding and for parents to refresh their own math skills.
Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been lauded for its innovative approach to game-based learning. It has been the focus of extensive research by the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington.
