Parent Accounts or Questions: To monitor your student’s progress, sign up for a parent account. For directions, go to
dreambox.com/support and search for “parent access.” If you have any questions, please contact DreamBox Client Care at
877-451-7845 option 3 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time), or email support@dreambox.com.
• Use only the program. No pencil, paper or calculator. DreamBox will provide any workspaces needed and break the
problem down into manageable parts. Students should use the tools and virtual manipulatives to guide them. If students
get outside help, they may be placed in lessons they are not ready for.
• Don’t help students answer problems. The program engine wants to “learn the learner.” If a student gets help,
the software adjusts as if the student understands the lesson. DreamBox will eventually adapt back to the “right” level for
the student, but if a parent helps, it can take longer and impede progress.
• Encourage a growth mindset. It is okay for students to make mistakes and try their own ideas! Let students know
that it is okay to get the “Oops, try again!” notification. When students worry about getting wrong answers, they are often
hesitant to try new ideas. Mistakes are okay! We learn from mistakes every day. Students should be encouraged to test
their own strategies. This leads to true mathematical discoveries and thus understandings, and lifetime confidence in
mathematics learning.
