Dragon Box will be very soon on the appstore in France and Norway.
Update: DragonBox was launched in Norway on 12.05.2012.
We work hard to make sure people who have a need for this game will hear of it.
Who can benefit from this game?
- Students who struggle with algebra
- Students who expect more challenges
- Teachers who need variation in the classroom and more efficiency
- Parents who want to freshen up their math knowledge
- Parents who think they are not good at math, algebra will be demystified!
- Anybody who likes puzzle games of quality
Why is Dragon Box revolutionary?
- No prerequesite needed to understand and learn algebra concepts
- The first game where you really learn while playing (it is not a quizz!)
- Discover algebra concepts yourself and do real maths like mathematicians!
- Take the time you need and still, learn algebra in no time!
- It is a real game
Does it really work?
- Just test it! and please tell us!
I am a junior high resource teacher, and many of the students that I work with struggle with math. I have asked a couple of them to try this app out and I have gone over it too.
*The students enjoy it, and one asks for the chance to work on it some more.
*It is good that a number of students can use it and save their progress.
*they enjoy the monsters
* I wish that there was a help section for when a student gets stuck on a particular problem.
* I find it confusing when I advance to the part with real numbers and sometimes I am expected to combine numbers and sometimes not. I think that it should be consistent in that if real numbers are involved, they should be simplified (-15 rather than -3*5). I also think the box might be labeled with an X.
*over all, a nice introduction to the basic principal of what you do to one side of the equation needs to be done to the other side.
