Community reviews for DreamBox Learning Math

Some pros of this platform: - DreamBox adapts to each student's individual learning style and pace, providing a customized learning experience that can be more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach. - The platform includes a variety of games, puzzles, and other interactive activities that can make math more engaging and fun for students. - Teachers and parents can easily monitor student progress and identify areas where additional support may be needed. Some cons of this platform: - DreamBox is a paid platform, which may be a barrier for schools or families with limited budgets. - The feedback provided by DreamBox is relatively limited, which could be frustrating for students who are struggling with a particular concept.

I like how you can go back and see the results and reports of the person learning so you can see what the child may need help with so you can help them strengthen their skills.

Overall I really like this tool, because it allows most students to practice independent skills. I think it could be better if teachers were able to opt students out of certain lessons that don’t fit the standard or the learner.

It is really good for practice and introducing a new concept.

I think it's an excellent teaching tool because students find it very engaging. I like how the activities aren't just fun, but directly related to the skills they need for math. Sometimes it is hard for students to find the activities that I specifically assign in DreamBox.

This a great teaching tool. While one group is working at their own pace on Dreambox; I am able to pull a small group to work on guided math at my table.

Positives 1. It's good practice. Kids are using manipulatives and moving things around on the screen. There are lots of different kinds of models and lessons. 2. The adaptive piece is extremely important. The program is designed to meet kids at their level of understanding so long as you don't use assignments. Instructions are read out loud to students with the option for captions, removing some of the language barriers. 3. It gives me pretty good data as far as standards covered and areas of struggle. Areas of growth 1. Some of these lessons are REALLY confusing. If I have a student stuck on a lesson, I often have to go in and play it myself to really understand what they're looking for. They definitely cover standards in depth, and if we're honest, we are all confused by those standards from time to time. But some of these games are quite difficult to really figure out and play. 2. Time constraints are tough. They really need at least 20 minutes a day to get any benefit from the program. 3. My students aren't really engaged in it. While it's advertised as game-based, it's like any math game you'd see in a typical workshop center. This isn't a game my kids are begging to play. Yes, it is game-based which makes it better than other programs, but the competitive element is missing that keeps my students motivated in a game like Prodigy.

I think this program is great for students at all levels. It helps fill in the gaps when all grades are using the program.

I've used Dreambox with my students for a few years now and really feel it has benefited my students learning and confidence in their math skills.

I would recommend it 100%.
