DreamBox LearningReviews of dreambox.com

Started strong, but then it stalled. My daughter liked it the first week, but after that, it became a struggle to get her to log in. Content feels too slow-paced and doesn't adjust well to her level. Might work for some, but didn’t for us.

I have not used this app, but from what I hear from my sister and fellow teacher friends, this is what they think: The lessons are often way too difficult for the students age range, and the way you have to go through steps can be too difficult for visual learners. It forces you to go through each step in the lesson in order for you to complete it. In order to get a full grade, atleast at my sister's school, you have to complete all five "lessons" per week, which is difficult as it removes the lessons you find easy and replaces them with lessons that are incredibly more advanced for your grade. The only good thing about this app is the customization of the backround and person icon. "Even so, that was mid at best." My sisters entire grade hated this app for more reasons, but she refuses to go down the rabbitfall of how this app made her feel. Do better, dookie app.

Dreambox...just don't use it. It is boring for students (trust me, I used Dreambox as a student from kindergarten to 5th grade), and it will give students questions that are too hard, which is very frustrating. Nobody I knew liked Dreambox, either. A good idea for Dreambox is, surprisingly, to NOT let students exit questions. This lets them leave a lesson because they are having a hard time, and Dreambox can't register it. Another improvement they can make is to not force students to use interactive models they aren't comfortable with (this was a HUGE problem for me, as I am not a visual learner and strongly prefer straight-up "solve this!"). But don't lose hope because Dreambox isn't very good - there are many better math program options than Dreambox that I have enjoyed!
