DreamBox Learning® Math
Add DreamBox Math to your protocol for a small additional fee.
Gemm Learning is excited to be part of a new movement in math learning that focuses on a true understanding of math. We offer DreamBox for home-based students. Dreambox enjoys extraordinary success in North American schools, serving nearly 3 million students.
Note that we also provide the popular Reflex Math for math facts, which is free for Gemm Learning students.
What Is DreamBox Math?
DreamBox is a comprehensive K-8 math curriculum aligned to K-8 standards, presented visually in an interactive format that encourages learning through exploration, not spoon-fed instruction.
It not only helps children perform at grade level, it helps them understand math in a profound way that will serve as a platform for a much better relationship with math going forward.
What Makes DreamBox Effective?
DreamBox suits our students, many of whom have language processing delays and so struggle to learn by listening. It is a comprehensive math curriculum aligned to state standards that is:
- Visual
- Adaptive, it hones in on where help is most needed
- Focused on numeracy, math understanding, not memorization to solve math problems
While you are at Gemm Learning working on Fast ForWord, you have access to expert supervision. If math is an area of concern, why not take advantage of that oversight and add DreamBox Math?
We recommend adding it only once your child is in a good Fast ForWord routine, typically 3-4 weeks.
Who is Dreambox Math for?
It’s a K-8 math program that uses visual explanations to help children truly get math. It’s a great help to children who are a little behind in math and have:
- Difficulty following the teacher in class or
- Limited reading comprehension
DreamBox presents each math concept in different ways, adapting to what works for each student. These different math looks can help a child catch up if they are behind, or stay on track if the lessons at school are not enough.

What Makes DreamBox Math Different
It combines a rigorous K-8 math curriculum with an engaging learning environment with in-the-moment feedback that works seamlessly with our intelligent adaptive technology, making DreamBox a very different math software.
Adapts differently
DreamBox Math has continuous assessment embedded into lessons that enable DreamBox to respond to the student in the moment of learning intelligently.
Delivers deeper learning
The curriculum helps students build core foundational skills and extend learning to develop conceptual understanding and critical thinking, improve problem-solving abilities, and make deeper connections.
Learn Through Discovery
Learning through exploration creates true understanding because it requires an understanding of the mathematical problem first. It takes longer because there is a lot of trial and error, but once learned, it sticks — it builds “numeracy,” math dexterity.
This is in contrast to learning to solve a calculus equation, for instance, without ever understanding the problem calculus solves or why the method works.
Engages students every step of the way
The game-like environment is motivating and engaging. Students actively engage with blocks, stacks, and other manipulatives that connect students to math in ways that paper and pencil never could, allowing them to explore, make connections, and make sense of math.
Cautionary Note On Our Math Outcomes
We do not claim equal outcomes for all math students. Because of the complexity of measuring math proficiency, we do not do math pre- and post-assessments. Instead, we infer gains as students progress through the exercises unfolding with escalating difficulty levels.
