Beaverton School District boosts 5th grade math proficiency 260% with Discovery Education

The Beaverton School District in Oregon, through 5th grade teacher John Plunkett at Bethany Elementary, sought to create a supportive post-COVID learning environment and build a strong math foundation for middle school using technology. The challenge was to address a wide range of student abilities and ensure equal opportunity for success. The vendor, Discovery Education, provided its DreamBox Math solution to help meet this goal.

Discovery Education implemented DreamBox Math as a supplemental classroom tool, with assigned lessons aligning to current units and a dedicated daily time for its use. The adaptive program personalized learning for each student and provided families with guided video lessons for home support. This approach, used in combination with Khan Academy, resulted in a reported 260% growth in math proficiency for the 5th grade class and gave the teacher efficient tools to monitor progress.
