Why does the student progress graph show my students working in multiple grades at one time?
Research on how children learn math has shown that it’s not a simple, linear process. Rather, learning grows like a web through a range of experiences. Based on common national standards, most kindergarten curricula cover numbers to ten, and most 1st grade curricula cover numbers to one hundred. But that doesn’t take into account the fact that, developmentally, a student that can count to ten is often ready for working with larger numbers. At DreamBox, we have developed an adaptive curriculum that’s based on this advanced learning research. The DreamBox curriculum, and our sophisticated placement system, allows students to work in lessons that build on prior knowledge, and that includes lessons that may be aligned with standards that are one grade level ahead. Our unique lesson sequencing technology, developed together with our academic experts, allows us to maximize your students’ learning potential by providing the most appropriate lesson choices from different areas of the curriculu

Because of this, it isn’t unusual for a student to be working in two grade level curriculums at one time.
