DreamBox Learning is an online software provider that focuses on mathematics education at the elementary and middle school level. DreamBox Learning provides pre-kindergarten through 8th-grade students with over 1,800 lessons presented as animated adventures, games, and challenges. Badges, coins, and unlockable mini-games are also integrated into the software to reward and engage students in their mathematics lessons. DreamBox Learning software utilizes an Intelligent Adaptive Learning Engine, which identifies a student's skill level and tailors each child's experience to increase learning opportunities before proceeding to new learning objectives. Adaptive learning technology captures decisions the student makes, and based upon perceived mastery, DreamBox Learning alters the educational path of the student.
In 2006, DreamBox Learning was founded in Bellevue, Washington by the CEO and serial entrepreneur Lou Gray, and former Microsoft employee Ben Slivka. In 2010, DreamBox Learning was acquired by the Charter School Growth Fund. The acquisition was sponsored by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings through a program-related investment.Jessie Woolley-Wilson became President and CEO of DreamBox Learning shortly after the company changed possession. DreamBox Learning provides its software to both students outside the classroom seeking to augment their mathematics education and school districts seeking to enhance their mathematics curriculum. In 2012, DreamBox Learning offered free trial licensing of lessons aligned with the Common Core State Standards Initiative to all schools within the United States. The company released a free iPad app, DreamBox Math Learning program.
In 2014, DreamBox launched its Adaptive Math Curriculum for students in grades six through eight, with topics including basic functions, geometry, single-variable algebra, and ratios. Also in 2014, the International Society for Technology Education reported that DreamBox added Spanish language support to its adaptive math software for students in grades K-8 to serve students who are learning English as a second language. In 2016, the company updated its K-8 math curriculum with the ability to create custom assignments for individual students.
