Discovery Education recently announced that DreamBox Math, an online math program for K–8 students to supplement core instruction, has been updated to improve accessibility for K–5 students, according to a news release. DreamBox Math provides personalized instruction by adapting to individual learners’ responses and providing an engaging, dynamic learning environment. The lessons are available in English and Spanish and align to standards in all 50 states.

The goal of the updates was to surpass compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the news release reports. Enhancements include improved compatibility with assistive technology tools; a new screen reader that provides alternative descriptions to increase concept understanding; intuitive keyboard navigation; visuals for students with low vision and color blindness; and eased engagement with moving and placing on-screen elements.

“The new enhancements and updates to DreamBox Math make it even easier for students—including those with differing visual, auditory, cognitive, and physical abilities—to access high-quality learning experiences that support increased achievement,” said Discovery Education’s Senior Director of Product Management, Melanie Lugo. “But we are not stopping here. We are committed to ensuring every student using DreamBox Math can progress at their own pace, experience joy, and gain confidence on their individual journeys toward mathematical excellence.”

Discovery Education also updated DreamBox Math’s Racecourse lessons, which teach students about fractions. The upgrades include numbered intervals along the course to streamline problem-solving; larger visuals and more space; a relatable “Road Trip” context to help students understand the tasks; and increased support and feedback as students work through the course, according to the news release.

The company plans to release further updates to DreamBox Math K–8 and DreamBox Reading throughout 2025, the news release reports.
