DreamBox Math Learning Pathways

The learning pathways and progressions in DreamBox Math are informed by research about how mathematical ideas develop in the minds of students as well as multiple expert sources such as NCTM publications, Cathy Fosnot's Landscapes of Learning, and regional standards documents which often have sequencing parallels. For every concept or skill, DreamBox Math engages students first with conceptual sense-making experiences (our virtual manipulatives) and from there empowers students to create their own self-directed learning pathways and activate their prior knowledge as they develop mental and procedural fluency.

 

Recommending Lessons

The DreamBox Math adaptive engine selects the next set of recommended lessons based on each student’s demonstrated strengths and struggles. As students play and complete lessons, DreamBox Math learns more about student understanding and what lesson or lesson group would be the best next step for each student and the program adjusts in real-time, adapting hints, level of difficulty, pace, and sequence, to engage students in their optimal learning zone. For example, if three different students are working on a particular lesson, they will each be offered different follow-up lessons based on how they responded to questions throughout the lesson.
