DragonBox Algebra 5+

Can’t recommend this game highly enough. The design is brilliant, the interface is fun, and the method of teaching is solid. My third grader played through it over a few days, and we play to review play periodically to keep the skills in mind. Well worth buying. Just got the geometry game to play next, and my younger kids love the numbers one.

My daughter with learning differences went through the 5+ algebra game on a Saturday afternoon. When she finished I could write simple algebraic equations which she could solve for me. She was in 4th grade at the time and we were able to use the app to show her school that she could do more than the single digit addition problems they made her repeat over and over. By 5th grade we were able to get her into grade level math and now she is just finishing 7th grade algebra. She started using the older algebra app and the geometry app independently. Can you write an app for calculus next?

I am 50 years old and for at least 46 of those years I thought I couldn't do math. Kind people told me nobody is good at everything. Unkind people told me I was undisciplined and stupid. Dragon Box is the first time ever, I understood that the point of algebra is something other than torture. I had FUN playing the games. Who knew you could do math and not cry?
