What Ashley Thinks About DreamBox

Hi, my name is Trish Munson. I used Dreambox to help support our curriculum and it also helps the students scaffold the curriculum. It helps them be able to kind of work wherever they are, and think mathematically wherever they are. I

1st Graders Using Education Technology

As educators, we know that every student comes to class with a different level of math ability, yet we teach a single process to an entire class at the same time.

Remote Learning Tips

We believe a positive mindset goes a long way! With so many unknowns this year, teachers are incorporating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) more than ever before.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

Take a look at how our research-based math lessons by grade follow the learning progression that supports the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM).

Common Core State Standards Lessons by Grade

Ready to use in elementary classrooms with any type of interactive white board, DreamBox Teacher Tools are virtual manipulatives designed to help teach the concepts students need to learn—and to reinforce Common Core standards.

Common Core State Standards for Math (CCSSM) – Teacher Tools

For students who would welcome more challenges in their math learning at home or school, DreamBox Learning© Math provides ‘just right’ differentiated instruction that motivates them to persist, progress, and achieve.

Enrichment

Response to Intervention (RtI), a key component of multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS), is an approach for designing and establishing research-based teaching and learning environments that are effective for students, families, and educators.

Math Intervention

America’s schools are underperforming in math education; many students are not reaching the level of mathematical proficiency needed to excel in school or in the workplace.

Closing the Achievement Gap

Using a technology-rich environment, student-driven learning means lectures are complemented or replaced with active learning strategies and learning guidance, rather than memorization, to engage the student and improve learning, support knowledge retention, and raise achievement.

Student Driven Learning

Personalized learning is instruction that offers pedagogy, curriculum, and learning environments to meet the individual student’s needs.

Personalized Learning

Adaptive learning is a computer-based and/or online educational system that modifies the presentation of material in response to student performance.

Adaptive Learning

Blended learning, or hybrid learning, is a formal education program that integrates face-to-face learning with technology-based, digital instruction.

Blended Learning

What is DreamBox Learning for SC Educators? (3–5)

"Why don’t I understand this math?”  Stress and anxiety can be a common feeling for students when they don’t understand something the teacher is covering in class. Many times, the brain will shift and be unreceptive to the math problem. The stressful thoughts take over and students shut down. It is important for educators to have greater empathy when students are expressing worry and frustration. In this episode, join Dr. Tim Hudson, PhD to discuss the importance of social and emotional learning, as it relates to mathematics.

Why Wednesday S1E5: SEL

In this episode, join Tim Hudson, PhD to discuss the difference between mind numbing math (dull thoughts) vs. thought- provoking math (genuine problems that invite thinking). He’ll discuss techniques and strategies to inspire student thinking and foster transformational learning.

Why Wednesday S1E4: Real World Math Problems

Does this sound familiar? “I did well in math; but, never really understood what I was doing!” Learning requires evidence of thinking and learners deserve feedback on their thinking that moves them forward. However, is there an equity problem with every learner getting the right feedback to forward their thinking? This is a challenge with math instruction and often educators.

Why Wednesday S1E3: Why math instruction can cause inequity and teacher burnout

When we hear “summative assessment” it typically means evaluating student learning at the end of a course or lesson. In other words, the end point. In contrast, formative assessment is more about monitoring student learning to provide ongoing feedback.

Why Wednesday S1E2: Formative Assessment

The question remains as we enter the new school year – what learning remains unfinished? And, if we flip that term, how would we define “finished learning”? We invite you to join Tim Hudson, PhD to dive into topics around sense-making, exploration, and the role technology can play in further engaging and supporting the success of your students this year in mathematics.
