Online Math Adds Up to a Lot of Fun

DreamBox Learning delivers fun math lessons. Kids can choose from the site's four themes (pets, pixies, pirates, and dinosaurs) and complete math-related tasks to earn objects that help the animated stories progress (earn a hammer to repair a pirate ship, for instance). With about four games per task, six tasks in each story, eight stories in a theme, and four themes ... well, that adds up to a lot of fun math. After finishing a story, players earn a certificate. The site's Parent Dashboard continually assesses and informs parents of kids' progress, all while making real-time adjustment to their math level.
