DreamBox provides opportunities for acceleration and enrichment

DreamBox Learning K-2 Math offers students who are advanced in mathematics opportunities for both acceleration and enrichment within a classroom setting. Because DreamBox uses continuous assessment and adaptation to provide individualized instruction and an appropriate level of difficulty for each child, students who are ready for more advanced work are able to progress rapidly to challenging mathematical topics and problems.

A robust curriculum, individualized to each student

DreamBox Learning’s unique lesson sequencing technology, developed by our academic experts and software engineers, allows us to maximize opportunities for student learning by providing the most appropriate lesson choices from different areas of the curriculum.

DreamBox Learning’s curriculum is aligned with the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Focal Points for Number and Operations and Algebra. It includes over 350 lessons and puzzles, and well over a million possible paths through the curriculum, to provide the most effective, individualized learning experience for each child. Students are able to accelerate or move on to new lessons, curriculum modules, and more difficult problems as they pass placement lessons that let them skip what they already know. The program allows students that are very advanced, as well as students who are struggling in math, to be challenged at the appropriate level and receive differentiated instruction.

Support for developing reasoning and problem solving

In addition to providing opportunities for acceleration within a classroom setting, DreamBox Learning K-2 Math also allows for enrichment activities that are not typically covered within a standard classroom curriculum. DreamBox games such as the Castle Maze, Petting Zoo, Frog Race, and the Dunk Tank help students develop problem-solving skills and strategies within a mathematical environment. These games have an academic focus, but don’t focus on a specific mathematical concept. Problem-solving skills are developed as students to adapt and modify their strategy as elements of the game change.

DreamBox virtual manipulatives allow students to solve problems multiple ways and as a student moves through the lessons, the “rules” or problems adapt to a student’s developmental readiness, so they advance to more complex lessons and concepts at their own pace. Some lessons teach new concepts while others encourage math fluency. DreamBox Learning problems deepen student’s mathematical thinking skills and better prepare them for higher-level mathematics and problem-solving.
