    Dragonbox is like Snap Circuit. It makes learning fun, so much so that I worry about how DD might react to traditional materials.

    What she said...we always know when someone buys a new app or gets a free one because we all get it. We are all under one iTunes account. Then like she said if we like it we keep it if not we delete it.

    Hey so I bought dragon box 5 for my 4th grader but didn't tell him about it because I wanted to do it first. I finished it and see I will have to get the 12year old app also. My 13 year old currently taking algebra saw me playing and asked for a turn and his comments were priceless as he was doing it...

    Isn't that a clever way of teaching it? And ....huh they will think they are playing but getting the basic thinking.

    He was really making good observations and wants to do the whole thing and once he and his brother are done with this wants the 12 yo program too.

    Can anyone tell me about the 12 app?

    Sweetie the 12+ app starts with a compressed "revision" of some of the original app levels. Then hey move on and it's a lot more of the actual Algebra - also introducing new concepts as you go etc. It's quite a bit trickier. It's great!

    It's funny, I thought the 12+ one had more of the "little kid fun" about it than the 5+ one -- there's more about feeding the dragon and making him grow, explaining that part, where the first one didn't really explain. DD7 didn't have any problem figuring out that the dragon was going to grow every few problems, though.

    But the 12+ one is definitely trickier, as it moves along. I like them both!
