Community reviews for Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox

Great support for kids that like playing video games. Sound pedagogically, great differentiation tool.

I read a great review of this game in Wired, and I absolutely LOVE it. It's one of the only games I have encountered that isn't simply drilling math problems. This game actually teaches and builds algebraic thinking. It is fun, engaging, and you really don't necessarily know you are doing math. It makes math fun again for students who are stuck and frustrated with math.

Dragonbox uses a visual, intuitive interface to gradually scaffold increasingly complex algebraic equations. Learning how to isolate a variable has never been so much fun -- my kids love it! Cleverly disguised as a game, the program moves from visually appealing images and characters to variable symbols you'll recognize from algebra class. The current research shows that introducing children to algebraic thinking in elementary school makes returning to the concepts in high school and beyond significantly easier. Dragonbox is a brilliant means of doing so.

I made this my first pick in selecting apps due to the great ratings and for the fact that we are currently working on basic algebra concepts with our special needs students. I found this app to be a great way to introduce the concept of isolating the variable, used throughout algebraic curricula.Students from my class, as well as those from the general ed. classroom took to it immediately and had tons of fun exploring all of the levels.

Unlike many of the digital math practice tools, this goes beyond drill and practice and has a unique approach that allows students to develop an understanding of basic algebraic concepts
