It provides very good assessment data and is hands-down the most child-friendly and academically sound computer based math program that I've encounter. I use this program as a means to assess and reinforce my child's learning. I do not use this as stand-alone curriculum, even though technically you could.
I learned my lesson, and got back Dreambox.
My son was VERY disappointed and wanted back his Dreambox. At one point, I tried to cut cost and use several less expensive math program. I have use this program with my 3rd grader since Kindergarten. I love the way that it breaks down the process behind large concepts such as long division and fractions. It teaches math fluency as well as math reasoning. I believe that using the program as recommended will help students become stronger mathematicians. Through games and activities, it reinforces and teaches concepts that your child is ready to learn. Dreambox was the program that I found to be most effective, not just for children who were struggling with math but to use for all students! This program assesses your individual child and adjust the curriculum to your child. During this time, I researched many different programs available to help students who needed a program to supplement their daily math program. ”Before becoming a Homeschooling parent, I taught in the public schools for 12 years. To be honest, I found DreamBox first and really wanted it after reading lots of reviews and videos, etc., then I stumbled onto Homeschool Buyers Co-op. Also, one more things gets done whilst mine does Dreambox. Do I think it is essential? Yes because it helps compliment your Maths work and it gives mine something to look forward to. My kid enjoys it as I use it to complement the pen and paper mode and as a reward. This as opposed to my pale explanations, my boring use of manipulatives and then back to the pen and pencil practice. Dreambox is especially fascinating as different topics are set out in various situations or visuals making it much easier to understand. This program makes it fun to do in a very visual and yet systematical manner highlighting each step. I was immensely frustrated as Maths comes easy to me but not so to my little one. When I first started doing this jobbie, I found Maths an uphill battle where we tango-ed one step forward and then gravity pulls us three steps back.
