DreamBox Learning is the only K–8 digital math program powered by students, built by and for educators, and independently proven to positively impact student achievement. Both during and between lessons, DreamBox dynamically adapts and differentiates in real time based not only on students’ answers, but also on how they solve problems. By automatically and continually supporting all students at their right level, DreamBox is a powerful partner in every classroom, school, and district. Along with actionable reporting and tools that empower classroom differentiation for all learners, DreamBox also gives teachers content-specific professional development relevant to the math their students are learning, provides you with insights about how all students are progressing, and enables strong connections between home and school.

DreamBox Learning Math and its Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ technology enable the seamless integration of instruction and assessment before, during, and after each lesson. Individual, in-the-moment learning experiences are deeply personalized for every type of student to provide the right next lesson, at the right level of difficulty, at the right time. The Intelligent Adaptive Learning technology tracks each student interaction and evaluates the strategies used to solve problems. It then immediately adjusts the lesson and the level of difficulty, scaffolding, sequencing, number of hints, and pacing as appropriate. This allows students, whether struggling, at grade level, or advanced, to progress at a pace that best benefits them and deepen conceptual understanding.

A great way to support your child’s learning on DreamBox is to help them set goals. On DreamBox, students can monitor their own progress to ensure they are invested and engaged in their learning. Challenge your child to set goals in the short term (ex: “I’ll complete 5 DreamBox lessons this week”) and long term (ex: “I’ll master these standards this quarter”). Another way you can support your learner is celebrating their perseverance and milestones. When math feels hard for your child, encourage them to persevere and provide them opportunities to reflect on their learning – asking them questions about math class is a great start! To celebrate milestones, you can log in to your DreamBox Family Dashboard to monitor accomplishments in your child’s math learning. Downloading student certificates is a fun way to celebrate!
