DragonBox features an exceptionally clever design that’s so fun, and so elegantly accomplished that kids don’t realize they’re learning core concepts of algebra. The start is simple enough: students move colorful cards around a screen to solve puzzles; there are no numbers in sight. But by the time they’re done with the game’s 200 levels, they will be solving algebra equations that are comparable to what they might get in class worksheets. It’s particularly refreshing because, as one of the teachers on Graphite explains, “it’s one of the only games…that isn’t simply drilling math problems.”
