"... engagement, interactivity, learning by doing, and reflection that we know to be characteristics of learning" (Holford).

"The key principles used in designing DragonBox are:
Students learn more when they are engaged.
The most important factor to learning is feedback.
Feedback should be immediate to be effective.
To feel mastery is key to staying motivated.
Students should be presented with challenges that match their level of mastery.
Students should be assessed in a formative, non-intrusive way.
A safe environment is the key to learning.
Peer learning is very effective.
Discovery or experiential learning is much more effective than instructional-based teaching.
Students learn differently and at different paces.
The language we use to teach mathematics is a barrier to understanding."
