When You Shouldn't Help Your Students on DreamBox Math


(Aviso: Pulsa aquí para leer el artículo en español)

Educators and parents naturally want to help a child who is struggling with a challenging lesson. However, because DreamBox Math is constantly assessing your students' answers to determine gaps in understanding and mastered concepts, your help can sometimes progress the student beyond their optimal learning zone and lead to more frustration.

 
Our Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ technology reacts to how a student answers each question. If a student's level is accurately assessed, then recommended lessons should be just challenging enough to progress a student's learning. Part of the calibration process may lead to a series of questions that are too difficult. If we see they are struggling, we can provide lessons to strengthen the foundational concepts needed to succeed.
 
For this reason, the best ways to help your student are to encourage them to try their best, coach them if they are working inefficiently, and continue to provide valuable one-on-one lessons away from DreamBox Math.
