Learn to Solve Equations with Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox, part of the Kahoot!+ Family subscription, makes learning algebra fun and accessible for young children.

The intuitive design allows children to learn at their own pace, mastering basic algebraic concepts without realizing they're studying.

Requires a Kahoot!+ Family Subscription

Access requires a Kahoot!+ Family subscription, which includes a 7-day free trial and can be canceled anytime before the trial ends. The subscription unlocks premium Kahoot! features and several award-winning educational apps focused on math and reading.

Gameplay and Learning

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox playfully introduces these algebraic concepts:

• Addition
• Division
• Multiplication

Designed for ages five and up, the app uses a unique teaching method emphasizing discovery and experimentation. Children solve puzzles by manipulating game elements to isolate a "DragonBox," mirroring the process of isolating 'x' in an equation. Gradually, game elements transition into numbers and variables, revealing the underlying mathematical operations.

While unsupervised play is possible, parental guidance can help children apply their in-game skills to solving equations on paper. It's a great activity for parents and children to enjoy together, potentially refreshing parents' math skills as well.

Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox is a celebrated example of game-based learning, even forming the basis of research at the University of Washington's Center for Game Science.
