Webinar: Using Virtual Manipulatives to Jump-Start Your Common Core State Standards Math Implementation

Join us for a free 60-minute webinar designed for K–5 educators preparing to support teachers in implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) in the 2011–2012 school year.

Date: Wednesday, August 24, 2011
Time: 11:00 AM PDT to 12:00 PM PDT

During this webinar, participants will:

• Learn about a variety of free virtual manipulatives that are designed to address the domains and the Standards for Mathematical Practice reflected in the CCSSM.
• Understand which domains and practices each virtual manipulative addresses.
• Share ideas and best practices for integrating virtual manipulatives into classroom instruction (whole group, small group, centers).
• Obtain professional development resources and materials to support teachers in implementing the CCSSM.
• Participate in a live Q&A session with the presenters.

New Common Core State Standards Report!

DreamBox Learning is committed to supporting schools and districts across the country beginning their Common Core State Standards Math Implementation and to providing educators with reporting tools that are insightful, actionable and provide the support you need to make instructional decisions.

The new DreamBox Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Report now provides educators with a real-time view of individual student progress against the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. As students work through our rich, adaptive learning environment and curriculum aligned with the Common Core standards of Counting and Cardinality, Comparing, Operations and Algebraic Thinking, and Number and Operations in Base Ten, teachers and administrators now have visibility into how student progress in DreamBox meets the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics!

New SRI study finds DreamBox increases math test scores

SRI International conducted a study around the progress of close to 600 students attending Rocketship Education. The study, Evaluation of Rocketship Education’s Use of DreamBox Learning’s Online Mathematics Program, was commissioned by Rocketship Education to measure the impact of online math learning on its students’ academic growth.

The results? Students who had greater access to DreamBox Learning achieved significant gains in overall mathematics scores. The study found that Rocketship students who received additional online math instruction through the DreamBox Learning program scored an average of 2.3 points higher on the NWEA mathematics test than similar students who did not receive the added online instruction time. For the average student, these gains would be equivalent to progressing 5.5 points in percentile ranking (e.g., from the 50th percentile to the 55.5th percentile) in just 16 weeks.
