How the Game Works

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox introduces young learners to key algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. Suitable for children aged five and up, the game uses a unique pedagogical approach that encourages discovery and experimentation. Players engage in a colorful, playful environment where they manipulate cards to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board. This action mirrors the process of isolating the variable X in an equation. As players progress, cards transform into numbers and variables, gradually revealing the underlying mathematical operations they've been mastering.

The game requires no supervision, though parents can help children apply their new skills to solve equations on paper. It's an excellent opportunity for family bonding, allowing parents to refresh their own math skills while playing alongside their kids.

Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been celebrated for its innovative approach to game-based learning. It has spurred extensive research by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.
