When we were developing DreamBox Learning K-2 Math, just creating the Mouse Tutorials didn’t solve our mouse problems (See our blog
Schooled by 5-8 year olds: Mouse Skills Needed).

The genesis of how DreamBox does assessment, and one of the reasons I am with the company, occurred over 30 years ago when one of my relatives was diagnosed with a learning disability.
This surprised us and shocked his teachers, who considered him to be in the upper middle to top third of the class for math. His test scores consistently supported this. In many areas he was significantly ahead of his peers. Yet a detailed examination with an expert showed that for him division just didn't compute. Put another way, his brain simply wasn't "wired for division".

My own son has a gift for art and is especially interested in animation. (And while his math test scores are high he’s never been especially motivated to focus on math.) The animated movies that younger kids love can be a good jumping off point for helping them understand the unlimited possibilities of learning math.
