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.
