Your child can play DreamBox Math in web browsers like Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox, but we recommend using Chrome for the best experience. 

Step 3: Bookmark the DreamBox Math Login Page (Recommended)

To make signing in from a web browser easier for your child, bookmark the DreamBox Math Login page (Clever, ClassLink, district portal, or DreamBox URL). This allows them to log in quickly without typing the full website each time
