My Take

The math tutorials are detailed with engaging characters and a focus on building concrete math knowledge before actual math problems are given. This is great for many students, but some students may feel annoyed by being forced to complete the tutorials. Once the tutorials are complete, the math problems are drill-based with rewards in the form of coins and badges. Coins are used to personalize the avatar and wallpaper. Mystery items can be collected to unlock mini-games.

How I Use It

DreamBox is a nice resource for students to practice concepts learned in class or at home. The ability to earn badges and coins is fun for elementary students and the random-ness of finding collection pieces to unlock mystery mini-games is very motivating. Teachers can track student progress with the paid subscription account. Students have a tracking area within each activity to be able to monitor their own progress toward completing the learning goal.
