"Thank you so much for the 5 star rating. After seeing my 8 year old learn the fundamentals of Algebra in one afternoon of game play I was certainly impressed with DragonBox. So impressed that I contacted the company and convinced the developers to hire me. I am a former math teacher as well as a parent. I know first hand how stressful algebra can be for some students.
