Description
DragonBox Algebra 5+ - The game that secretly teaches algebraDragonBox Algebra 5+ Is perfect for giving young children a head start in mathematics and algebra. Children as young as five can easily begin to grasp the basic processes involved in solving linear equations without even realising that they are learning. The game is intuitive, engaging and fun, allowing anyone to learn the basics of algebra at his or her own pace.
DragonBox Algebra 5+ covers the following algebraic concepts:
* Addition
* Division
* Multiplication
Suitable from age five and up, DragonBox Algebra 5+ gives young learners the opportunity to get familiar with the basics of equation solving.
DragonBox uses a novel pedagogical method based on discovery and experimentation. Players learn how to solve equations in a playful and colorfull game environment where they are encouraged to experiment and be creative. By manipulating cards and trying to isolate the DragonBox on one side of the game board, the player gradually learns the operations required to isolate X on one side of an equation. Little by little, the cards are replaced with numbers and variables, revealing the addition, division and multiplication operators the player has been learning throughout the game.
Playing does not require supervision, although parents can assist them in transferring learned skills into pen and paper equation solving. It is a great game for parents to play with their kids and can even give them an opportunity to freshen up their own math skills.
DragonBox was developed by former math teacher Jean-Baptiste Huynh and has been heralded as a perfect example of game-based learning. As a result, it is currently forming the basis of an extensive research project by the Center For Game Science at the University of Washington.
Features

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★As a former math teacher and a current homeschool teaching dad of three children, this game is outstanding! For anyone with a solid algebra background, it's easy to see the underlying math concepts from the earliest moments in the game. For everyone else, you just learn to play the game even though you may be unaware that you are balancing an algebraic equation each time. You just need to substitute numbers and variables in for the characters and there you have it. Brilliant! My children ages 8, 9 and 11 love it.
3 ★For an old guy. It was a fun game logic ignoring the algebra part. It took me till chapter 4 to start seeing the Algebra components. I initially rated this app high but had to lower it because it ended too quickly. For the price. the gameplay should be longer. Now I'm scared to buy other Dragonbox products knowing I may get another "short" game.
5 ★Games App developers need to incorporate much better practices when requiring unreasonable permissions - link with permissions explained one by one is a standard common practice now so why not do that +WeWantToKnow AS? Until I know why Dragon Box requires access to phonecalls I am not updating. Better would be to drop these requirements altogether as what does a game need to know about my phone stuff? #android #paranoid #developers #commonsense
5 ★My two boys DEVOURED this game and still continue to play it over and over. I just discovered that there are more Dragon Box games and they are excited to get their hands on them. Great job guys!
1 ★I teach math to adults, focusing a lot on pre-algebra, and much of my time is spent convincing students that we can discover the rules of algebra through our understanding of basic arithmetic. One of the largest obstacles for students who don't do well in math is that they have learned it as a set of rules and procedures that they just memorize without any justification. That is exactly what Dragonbox Algebra 5+ teaches. It doesn't give any context or meaning to the equations, it just treats the equations as abstract objects. Therefore, there is no *reason* for the rules, they are just rules to be memorized. In addition, contrary to how math is actually done, in this game there is generally only one way to solve a given equation. For example, I was given x+a/b=c. Whereas the one-step procedure for this is to subtract a/b from both sides, this app doesn't allow subtracting fractions, so you have to first multiply everything by a, then subtract b, and then divide everything by a. Absurd. I love Dragonbox Numbers and Big Numbers and Elements because they emphasize meaning and creativity and flexibility. This one may well be more damaging than it is helpful.
2 ★Good for kids, but my daughter decided to create another avatar for herself with the same name. This wiped all her progress. I tried deleting the new avatar to get her progress back, but it deleted both of them.
5 ★Conceptually presents algebra rules and procedures in a way that is easy to understand and you don't necessarily realize the applicability until the animals turn to numbers
5 ★My two daughters (6 and 10 when they started it) loved this game, and even though my son (who is older) breezed through it, he loved it too. My youngest continues to ask to play. I even enjoyed playing it! I've seen other reviews complaining about the dark aesthetic of the game, but my kids all loved it and thought the monsters were cute.
5 ★At first I was hesitant to introduce this to my 6 year old daughter, thinking she would get frustrated ave give up on it quickly, but just the opposite happened! The progression of the levels is well designed so she barely even notices the increase in difficulty and wasn't disheartened at all when the monster pictures turned into numbers and variables. She absolutely devoured the app and beat the game, bonus levels and all, with 3 stars on all levels, in 2 days. She's looking forward to getting her next app as a reward. (Any suggestions on which one it should be? ) I'd usually balk at the cost, but I think the app is well worth the price. Thank you!
1 ★My son couldn't figure it out. It doesn't explain how to do it.
4 ★Fantastic game for getting kids to understand equations and algebra. My daughter has been using it for a year (she is in first grade) and she has learned alot.
3 ★Intriguing mechanics, terrible aesthetics from the first screen of avatars. Seriously...WHY the need to apply an alien/supernatural-back-alley aesthetic to a game for kids?
