Fun Math Games - DreamBox... The New Game In Town

Perhaps you've run across the name "DreamBox Learning", in search for a fun math games for your child. There are many blogs that say, "DreamBox Learning K-2 Math is different and fun...", but few delve into how DreamBox Learning K-2 Math differs from its counterparts.

How Is DreamBox Different?
DreamBox Learning K-2 Math is indeed a radical departure from the other math edu-tainment fare on the market. Although it is an online video adventure game set in a cartoon world, under the surface lies an impressive K-2 curriculum based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards, and presents activities which develop efficient, adaptable and accurate methods for mental computing, developing and reinforcing the understanding of foundational concepts, and problem-solving skills. More than this DreamBox is adaptive... Using its GuideRight technology it radically customizes the lesson sequence and content, based on a child's individual responses. Essentially, DreamBox learns from your child's responses and presents lessons that are highly individualized to you child's particular needs.

Individualized... That's What They All Say
It's difficult to be terribly concise about the means by which software can "learn" and create an individualize experience for your child, but I hope this attempt is not in vain.
Most e-learning companies use simple decision trees to inform the next lesson pathway your child will take. In other words, if the current question is answered correctly, go to module "C", if answered incorrectly go to module "D". In the end, is all quite linear... because of this failure to demonstrate competency in a given area may not preclude advancement out of the current lesson.

When DreamBox say, "Individualized", it is speaking to the most robust use of the word. DreamBox dynamically adapt the elements of the environment (lesson content, difficulty, hints, lesson pathways, and more) to create a truly non-linear method of presenting lessons.

Parental Involvement
Since parental involvement is crucial to a child's academic success, DreamBox has provided a Parental Dashboard that displays a real-time view of a child's academic progress. The Progress Snapshot displays the following statistics at a glance:

• Overall progress
• Academics
• Quick Stats
• The amount of time your child has played.

A New Game In Town
With all its innovations and demonstrated efficacy, DreamBox has raised the bar by which other fun math games will be measured.
