"We are very pleased with the high number of lessons that have been completed by our students using DreamBox in the Waterloo Region District School Board," said Elaine Ranney, superintendent of Student Achievement and Well-being for Waterloo Region District School Board. "We have been offering DreamBox to complement classroom instruction, and some preliminary data shows that it can support students in closing gaps."

DreamBox, which is used in all 50 states and across Canada, supports 80,000 teachers and 2.3 million students. Last school year, students completed more than 300 million lessons. Leveraging engaging, age-appropriate visual representations of math, DreamBox creates a deep learning experience that motivates students to progress and achieve success with justthe right amount of support when they need it.

"Our passion is to unlock human potential by first unlocking learning potential," said Jessie Woolley-Wilson, DreamBox president and CEO. "Completing one million lessons is a tremendous accomplishment that demonstrates how our district leader partners are using DreamBox to cultivate the deep thinkers, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow by building confidence and competence in math.
