Learn to Solve Equations with Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox

Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox, a game included with a Kahoot!+ Family subscription, makes learning algebra fun and accessible for young children. Even five-year-olds can start understanding the fundamentals of solving linear equations without realizing they're learning! The intuitive, engaging gameplay lets kids learn at their own pace.

Requires a Kahoot!+ Family Subscription

This app requires a Kahoot!+ Family subscription, which includes a 7-day free trial. 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 teaches:

• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division

Designed for ages five and up, the game uses a unique approach based on discovery and experimentation. Children solve puzzles by manipulating cards to isolate a "DragonBox" (representing the variable 'x') on one side of the game board. This process gradually introduces them to the operations needed to solve equations. The game visually transitions from cards to numbers and variables, revealing the underlying mathematical operations.

While unsupervised play is possible, parents can help reinforce learning by guiding children to apply their in-game skills to solving equations on paper. It's a great game for parents and kids to play together, offering a fun way to brush up on math skills.

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