April has arrived! With stay-at-home orders in place for many, we know this is a difficult time for families. School closures have students learning remotely and many parents juggling new work from home schedules on top of parenting.
DreamBox Learning is committed to helping teachers and parents ensure that learning continues during school closures. We’ve made the following resources available to support learning in a remote environment using DreamBox Math.
We have to keep moving forward in our classes, but there are just instances when kids have missed something along the way—either through an absence, or just not “getting it.” With DreamBox, I can have fifth grade students that don’t understand place value review and understand at their own pace. DreamBox helps to fill those educational gaps at the exact time and place that each child needs it … certainly something that I cannot provide for every student during our classroom time

I teach an intervention class of students on the autism spectrum who look forward to playing DreamBox every day. As visual learners, being able to physically move the virtual manipulatives around on the screen has allowed them to see and really understand math concepts in a whole new way. After just 6 months using DreamBox last year, I saw even my most math resistant students' move from below basic on the CMA to basic or proficient.
