Parents and Teachers Love DreamBox
“I am a fifth grade teacher in California and I mainly use DreamBox as a way to keep my students engaged in math when they finished with their whole group activity. It’s an early finisher activity. I really love DreamBox in the sense that it is on pace with where the students that are at, so my students who are struggling in math have the option to continue to practice their skills in an environment that they really enjoy participating in.”
Veronica S.
Teacher
“Our upper-grade teachers are noticing students are coming in with a more solid foundation of prior grade material. When our third and fourth-grade teachers have used DreamBox Math with fidelity, our fifth-grade teachers are really noticing that students are stronger with mathematical modeling than ever before.”
Carrie T.
Elementary Math Coordinator
“If we struggle with fourth-grade fractions, we struggle with fifth-grade fractions, it just compounds. DreamBox really allows us to hone in on where we need to put in extra work.”
