How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox employs a unique pedagogical approach centered on discovery and experimentation. Players are immersed in a playful and colorful game environment where they learn to solve equations by manipulating cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board. As the game progresses, these cards are gradually replaced by numbers and variables, unveiling the addition, division, and multiplication operations that the player has been mastering. This method allows learners to grasp the concepts of solving equations through hands-on experience.

The game is designed to be self-paced, although parents can play alongside their children to help transfer the skills learned in the game to solving equations on paper. It's a fantastic way for families to bond over learning and for parents to refresh their own math skills.

Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been hailed as a prime example of effective game-based learning. Its success has led to extensive research by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.
