This DragonBox Numbers app review was written by Jinny Gudmundsen. It is a perfect way to interest kids in math. It includes dozens of digital laboratories and quizzes, several textbooks and storybooks, a set of physical number rods, a database of printouts for personalized work and a Teacher Handbook illustrated with videos that both show how each component work and how they can be used in class.DragonBox School is currently only available for Finnish and Norwegian schools but we are working to take them to more countries in the near future.

Each one has its own advantage: digital quizzes offer engaging characters and immediate feedback while printed challenges require more student autonomy.

Classes do not begin with a lecture but the teacher rather asks students to get together and "figure out how this laboratory works".Īfter concepts are discovered by students it's time to practice them. It offers educators a vast set of tools to chose from –both physical, printed and digital.Įach topic is introduced in digital laboratories, where students can experiment on their own and discover each mathematical concept in the curriculum.

DragonBox Algebra 12+ is a must-have tool for students so they can earn better grades and gain confidence in algebra and mathematics. Using whimsical characters, shapes and their properties, kids recreate the mathematical proofs that define geometry.
