There is an emerging opportunity to boost student achievement and improve working for teachers here in the U.S.—and a huge opportunity to expand access to quality learning to every young person on earth. The opportunity is to make learning more compelling, customized, connected, and competency-based. Combining personalized and project-based learning creates an environment that supports both individual growth and passion in meaningful ways. For mathematics this means simultaneously creating an environment where students build conceptual understanding and also develop the skills they need to be successful problem solvers. Tom Vander Ark, CEO of Getting Smart, and moderator David Woods, director of curriculum development at DreamBox Learning, dive into the implications for mathematics in project-based learning.

- Skillfully incorporate standards into interest-based projects Use adaptive software to Buy time for interest based
- Projects & Built in Math components (is everyone on the same page with a particular topic — capability to switch from adaptive version to assigned version). How can you differentiate effectively around a singular topic
- Many wall to wall PBL schools find it useful to do most of their math in shorter cycle problem based approach
- DreamBox Learning provides a new class of intelligent adaptive learning technology is the true game changer in education. Combines 3 essential elements 1) Mathematics- CCSSM & Standards for Mathematical Practice- unlike other programs that provide drill and practice DreamBox builds both conceptual understanding and procedural fluency 2) Motivating (persist and progress) 3) Powerful intelligent adaptive learning engine providing millions of personalized learning paths—each one—tailored to a student’s unique needs. Notes: DreamBox curriculum aligns with these Common Core Standards: Counting and Cardinality, Comparing, Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations in Base Ten, and Number and Operations in Fractions.
- Truly Adaptive Learning Technology requires dynamic content that is built from the ground up to invite, analyze and respond to a learner’s initial conceptions and support their developing ideas.
- With our AssignFocus feature, you can create an assignment to introduce or reinforce concepts, to fill learning gaps, or provide an additional challenge. DreamBox Learning enables you to automatically differentiate lessons for your entire class, small group, or an individual student directly from your Insight Dashboard. With over 2,300 engaging, standards-aligned lessons that are proven to build problem solving strategies, hone critical-thinking skills, and develop math fluency, you know have a powerful new way to provide instruction, practice, and
- A NEW study from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University suggests DreamBox Learning Math increases student outcomes. Study suggests students using DreamBox Learning Math for 14 hours can increase achievement on NWEA MAP assessments by nearly 4 percentile points.
