Important Dates and A Peek At The Week
Important Dates and A Peek At the Week
The DreamBox Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ program provides individualized instruction for every student, adapts lessons and pacing based on each student’s unique needs. As students work on math problems DreamBox captures, analyzes, and responds to every decision a student makes. DreamBox goes beyond tracking whether a student’s answer was right or wrong and assesses each student on around 60 different behaviors, including the amount of time it takes to solve a problem, the number of hints used, and the strategies they use to construct the answer to a problem.
The continuous assessment guides students through their math development and determines their optimal learning zone, which is where a student is continually challenged enough to stay interested but not too challenged to become frustrated. DreamBox is designed around the ideal of a personal math teacher for each student, with infinite time and infinite patience.
Happy Friday!!!
Next week is an A week.
