Intervention Summary

DreamBox Learning is a supplemental online mathematics program that provides adaptive instruction for students in grades K-5 and focuses on number and operations, place value, and number sense. The program aims to individualize instruction for each student with millions of unique paths through the curriculum intended to match each student's level of comprehension and learning style. The curriculum is based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. The DreamBox Learning curriculum is made up of more than 720 online lessons for two grade levels: primary lessons for grades K-2 and intermediate lessons for grades 3-5. Students complete lessons by playing math games and solving puzzles using DreamBox Learning's virtual manipulatives. As students interact with the program, the lesson sequence, difficulty, pace, and number of hints are adapted in real time. DreamBox Learning can be used in a range of instructional settings including the classroom, small groups, or students using the program independently.
