DragonBox Algebra 5+ App Reviews

I seen this shared on a Facebook Homeschooling page. I watched the videos. Really enjoyed the Tedx video and immediately downloaded the app. My daughter who is 6, and I have been playing for 20 minutes we had to stop because it was bedtime. Its amazing the amount of concepts she has already learned in such a short time. Now we are busy growing dragons playing on two different devices. Me on my iPhone and my daughter on her iPod. She is so happy with showing me how she solved for x or the dragon box. This was my first app I paid for and I am truly happy. I highly recommend! Cant wait to get another iTunes card to download the next stage. This app made a math loving parent really happy. Thank you for creating this wonderful game!

My 5 year old loves this. We needed to work together at the beginning to get the hang of it. It was a great way for us to work on early math skills together in a way that my son didnt realize that he was doing math!

Worth having for every child. Great method to learn principles of algebra in a fun and unique way.

My 13 yr old daughter and I are hooked on this game. I want more levels to keep going

My six year old just passed this whole app in 3 days. He loved it and I cant believe the concepts he learned. It was just a game to him... But so much more!!!!

This app is a great way to break down math phobia and get kids thinking symbolically.

My 7 year old has mastered the art of algebra! Unbelievable!

I downloaded this game for my 6 yo..its excellent and approaches algebra almost like a simple riddle...he was addicted to evolving his monster. A very nicely paced game for this age...he woke up 2 days in a row and played it...well done

I wish I had had this when I was a kid. Im glad my son has it now.

Wish Id had this as a kid! Algebra is simply a game with symbols ... so why not teach it via a game with symbols? Really well done. Algebra 4 year-olds can learn.

This app is equally entertaining for my 4.5-year old, my 9-year old and me. Never thought of algebra as a fun puzzle, but here you have it! This app is fantastic.

This app is seriously amazing - what an incredibly unique way to teach a very complicated system. My 7 year old struggles in math at school but has not only picked up on this algebra easily but is completely addicted to it!!!

Where was this app when I was teaching pre-algebra?!? My 7 year old just rocked it.

My sister referred this app to me for my 7 year old daughter. My daughter loves it, but thankfully this app lets there be more than one user, because I enjoyed refreshing my own algebra skills, all while conquering this game and bonus levels. On to the 12+ version, soon! It is worth every penny!

Amazing how this is done. Loading step 2 for my 9yo

How

I cant recommend this app more highly. Its fun, deeply satisfying, easy and actually teaches real principles of algebra. But there are a few things that made me hesitate in confusion. For example, when the game transitions from using "boxes" to using "x", there was no explicit statement that they were the same. Instead, the game uses a subtle halo of stars to indicate what youre trying to get "alone." At least it was subtle to me. It may be very obvious to a kid. But thats just being picky. I found this game to be addictive and I suspect most kids would too.

I bought this is morning and my boys dont want to stop playing! They love it.

In an hour with this delightfully clever game, my 5-year-old learned basic algebra and fraction manipulation, without even realizing the importance of the skills he’s just mastered. This is exactly the kind of creative twist on presenting important concepts I’d love to see more of. I can’t wait for the quantum mechanics version. :-) Absolutely recommended!
