DragonBox Algebra 5+ - The game that secretly teaches algebra

DragonBox Algebra 5+ Is perfect for giving young children a head start in mathematics and algebra. Children as young as five can easily begin to grasp the basic processes involved in solving linear equations without even realising that they are learning. The game is intuitive, engaging and fun, allowing anyone to learn the basics of algebra at his or her own pace.

DragonBox Algebra 5+ covers the following algebraic concepts:

* Addition
* Division
* Multiplication

Suitable from age five and up, DragonBox Algebra 5+ gives young learners the opportunity to get familiar with the basics of equation solving.

DragonBox uses a novel pedagogical method based on discovery and experimentation. Players learn how to solve equations in a playful and colorfull game environment where they are encouraged to experiment and be creative. By manipulating cards and trying to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board, the player gradually learns the operations required to isolate X on one side of an equation. Little by little, the cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the addition, division and multiplication operators the player has been learning throughout the game.

Playing does not require supervision, although parents can assist them in transferring learned skills into pen and paper equation solving. It is a great game for parents to play with their kids and can even give them an opportunity to freshen up their own math skills.

DragonBox was developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh and has been heralded as a perfect example of game-based learning. As a result, it is currently forming the basis of an extensive research project by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.

Awesome integration of algebra and gameplay!

My eight year old son immediately sat down and ran through the first two banks of problems without hesitation. It was amazing.

Editors’ Notes

“Solve for X” might be the most terrifying words in a young student’s vocabulary, but DragonBox Algebra 5+ explains fractions, polynomials, and other scary math concepts in a way that’s fun and even a bit sneaky. A game with colorful critters, glowing orbs, and a magic box, it subtly educates kids (and adults in need of a brush-up) about linear equations. It’s an ingenious way of teaching algebra basics without the intimidation factor.

Love it!

My daughter with learning differences went through the 5+ algebra game on a Saturday afternoon. When she finished I could write simple algebraic equations which she could solve for me. She was in 4th grade at the time and we were able to use the app to show her school that she could do more than the single digit addition problems they made her repeat over and over. By 5th grade we were able to get her into grade level math and now she is just finishing 7th grade algebra. She started using the older algebra app and the geometry app independently. Can you write an app for calculus next?

No more crying over math!

I am 50 years old and for at least 46 of those years I thought I couldn't do math. Kind people told me nobody is good at everything. Unkind people told me I was undisciplined and stupid. Dragon Box is the first time ever, I understood that the point of algebra is something other than torture. I had FUN playing the games. Who knew you could do math and not cry?
