REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION
Access requires a Kahoot!+ Family subscription, including a 7-day free trial with cancel-anytime flexibility. This subscription unlocks premium Kahoot! features and other award-winning children's learning apps.
Gameplay and Learning:
Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox playfully teaches:
- Addition
- Division
- Multiplication
Designed for ages five and up, the game uses a unique discovery-based method. Children manipulate cards, aiming to isolate a "DragonBox" (representing X in an equation). This process gradually introduces numerical and variable manipulation, revealing the underlying mathematical operations.
While unsupervised play is possible, parental guidance can help transfer in-game skills to traditional equation solving. It's a great family activity and a fun way for adults to refresh their own math skills.
Developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox is a recognized leader in game-based learning, even forming the basis of a University of Washington research project.
