Kahoot! Algebra by DragonBox covers algebraic concepts such as addition, division, and multiplication. It is recommended for children ages five and up and provides them with the opportunity to become familiar with solving equations. The game uses a unique method of discovery and experimentation, allowing players to learn through play. By manipulating cards and isolating the DragonBox on one side of the game board, players gradually learn the operations required to solve equations.

Developed by a former math teacher, Jean-Baptiste Huynh, DragonBox has been recognized as an outstanding example of game-based learning and has been the subject of extensive research by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.
