I am really enjoying reviewing geometry. The characters and where they live are just cool.
You can do easy, medium, hard. There are hints while you are drawing the shapes, like make the triangle then turn it into a isoceles and in turn make that to the asked for equilateral triangle. And it does review what it taught pretty regularly. I am currently on exterior interior angles being equal and wish it explained a little more, but I just pulled out my class notes.
The only thing that bugs me is they call the guys Tringulum, Aequilaterus, Quadrilaterum, Parallelogrammum etc. To me they are Triangle, equilateral triangle, quadrilateral, parallelogram etc. After more exploring I discovered click the book, find the evolution page, click on the guy and under their name it gives the ones I'm used to.
Wish it worked with a stylus... finger burn.
7/24/14 I subtracted one star because I don't agree with some of their definitions: example-1 a rectangle is 0 equal sides, 4 right angles, 2 pairs of parallel sides, 4 equal angles. My text book has both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel, and has 4 right angles.
example-2 parallellogram is 0 equal sides, 0 right angles, 2 pairs of parallel sides, 0 equal angles. My text book has both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel, opposite angles are equal

Product description
Embark on a great learning adventure! Discover the fundamentals of geometry with your family! Watch your kids learn geometry in a matter of hours, without them even noticing they’re learning! (main learning features below)By playing the 100+ puzzles in DragonBox Elements, kids (and adults, too) will gain a deep understanding of the logic of geometry. Through entertaining exploration and discovery, players use shapes and their properties to actually recreate the mathematical proofs that define geometry!
Whimsical characters and captivating puzzles motivate players to keep learning. Since the geometry in the game remains hidden, kids learn and gain confidence even if mathematics is a subject they don’t usually feel comfortable with. Amazing fun with amazing results!
DragonBox Elements takes its inspiration from “Elements”, one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics. Written by the Greek mathematician Euclid, "Elements" describes the foundations of geometry using a singular and coherent framework. Its 13 volumes have served as a reference textbook for over 23 centuries, and DragonBox Elements makes it possible for players to master its essential axioms and theorems after just a couple of hours playing!
Learning features:
* Learn as a family, through guidance and collaborative play, with up to 4 individual game saves
* 100+ levels, for several hours of intensive logical reasoning practice
* Aligned with the concepts studied in high school and middle school mathematics
* Explore the properties of geometric shapes through Euclidian proof: triangles (scalene, isosceles, equilateral, right), circles, quadrilaterals (trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, square), right angles, line segments, parallel and transversal lines, vertical angles, corresponding angles, corresponding angles converse, and more
* Improve logical reasoning skills dramatically by creating mathematical proofs and solving geometrical puzzles
* Gain an instinctive understanding of the properties of shapes and angles through play
* Transfer what you have learned to pen and paper with the learning resources found on wewanttoknow.com
Recommended from age 8 (the guidance of an adult may be required for younger children)

Very clever but needs more testing on actual children!
