Math : Dream Box

Aleli used Dream Box to practice math online. From their progress report :


"Aleli is exploring geometry and working on a series of problems related to filling space. At this level she has only been placing animals on rectangular patches of grass into feeding pens, but as she continues with this game she will be challenged with determining how many boxes fit in a given larger box. The activities in this section of DreamBox build a foundation for later work with area and volume."

"Congratulations are in order for Aleli! She has been working in the math carnival section of DreamBox Learning and has successfully solved level four of the Petting Zoo."
*********************************************************************************

"Aleli is off to a great start in DreamBox Learning! She has played for the first time and is currently developing a strong understanding of 5 and 10, two important numbers in our base-ten system.
When she began, her first game was actually a behind-the-scenes placement lesson that allowed us to start her at the right place in the math curriculum based on what she already knows and should skip, and what she should focus on. For example, Aleli demonstrated her understanding of identifying and building numbers of up to 20 objects, using the least number of mouse clicks. You can find more detail on Aleli's progress in the curriculum on the Parent Dashboard!
Your encouragement to keep playing is so important to Aleli's success! She chose to play the Pirates adventure – in this story she is gathering all the supplies and rations for the pirates' long voyage through the seven seas! Be sure to ask her to show you the lesson games she has played, so you can celebrate her progress together.
Research suggests that children will benefit most if they're coming back to learn regularly, for at least 15 minutes at a time. We encourage parents to try to make DreamBox a regular, healthy part of their child's schedule, playing 2 or more times each week. In recent studies, students using DreamBox Learning have shown significant progress in math knowledge, an increase in confidence and positive enjoyment of math, and even significant increases in test scores!"
