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.

Awesome!

Just a wonderful educational game! Congrats!!!

F A N T A S T I S C H !!!

Ein wunderbares, den Kopf auf angenehme Weise forderndes Spiel. Unsere Tochter (7) liebt es und spielt auch die anderen DragonBox-Spiele mit Begeisterung. Mathe als Spiel zu Verpacken ist eine tolle Idee. Wir Eltern spielen das Spiel auch und frischen unsere Gehirnzellen dabei ein bisschen auf. Die Musik ist angenehm und nicht zu schnell. Weiter so!

Lives up to the hype

Every bit as deceptively simple and clever as they say...

4 and a half doing algebra better than I did at 12

This game is a masterpiece. The developers are awesome and I love them. My daughter is 4 and a half, I taught her numbers and to sum or subtract big numbers, but since we played this she learnt how to solve equations, what negative numbers are. The games make algebra fun and easy. The bad side: stealth algebra should be sold also to adults, I know many people whod benefit from such an app! Whatever age you are, get this game.

Fun subtle learning

Got me looking forward to future math homework. My five year old is excited about algebra, now thats cool.

I NEVER write reviews, but I HAD to for this app!!

Im an elementary school teacher of over 20 years and Im always looking for educational games for my boys. My SIX year old devoured this game in about 3 days! By the last level he was solving multi-step algebraic equations mostly on his own! Im blown away. I will have him use the app from time to time so the concepts can be reinforced, but believe me when I say that I wont be forcing him. He was completely engaged the entire time. I had to tell him time was up a few times and to put the iPad away! I will definitely be recommending this game to my students and their parents. I will look for more "games" from this developer. If they are as good as this one, I will get them all.
