My Take
I like the app's fast pace and the variety of difficulty levels. Students can feel accomplished rather than discouraged as they go through the stages since the difficulty increases gradually. Due to the limited number of words, it is ideal for kids who have difficulty reading. Due to the game's great style, kids are interested and don't feel like they're completing math assignments.
How I Use It
My major usage of DragonBox is to help students who are struggling with mathematics topics. I demonstrate the straightforward issues to learners, noting that the bar in the center represents an equal sign in an equation.

This is an really intersting app that I think many students will enjoy.
I really like how the app can integrate learning into playing games. I believe this is a great app for young or struggling students to learn basic concepts of algebra visually before they get into the complex parts with numbers and variables. I believe this would allow students to be more interesting with math since it's usually intimating for some students.

A Great Way for Students to Learn and Play
After playing around with the app, I think this is a perfect addition to a lesson. It is engaging, and fun and students will play and learn at the same time. While playing, it doesn't even feel like you are learning math! It is nice that as the levels go on, the equations get more challenging to provide a challenge for the students. I think this is a good app for middle school students because it might be confusing or complex for younger kids since the app doesn't provide any hints or clues. The graphics could use more work, but overall it is a very well-designed app and gets the job done. I definitely see myself using this in the classroom or having my students play this at home for extra practice. It's engaging and fun, and I even had a good time playing it.

Great app for teaching algebraic thinking, but really young kids may get frustrated quickly.
I went through all of the levels myself, and I think the app is a great teaching tool. The developers could probably do a bit more to make the game a little more attractive to youngsters. The dragons could look a little friendlier or more comical. I think this app is probably ideal for lower elementary students, but kindergartners might hit a wall or lose interest in the app.
