New math standards are based on focus, coherence and rigor. Today's software is designed to adjust each students learning path to cater to their individual learning styles. These new math standards really focus on a personalized learning experience.

In 2010 the main focus was professional learning communities. Teachers need to plan together and collaborate. In 2012 the main focus was guaranteed curriculum. Importance was stressed on student engagement. In 2014 the main focus became personalization of the students education experience, and this is the model we follow today.

Technology rich education does not always replace face-to-face. Teachers should remain at the center of implementation. They plan content and learning experiences, manage the classroom, and use data to determine future learning experiences.

Adaptive learning is adapting in and in between lessons. Moving beyond the pace of learning, an adjustment that caters to the individual student. Blended learning is online and in classroom. The online learning is integrated into the lesson. The teaching is more based on the individual's level, not the grade level.

Implementation is key. These standards are really trying to change the way in which teachers are currently teaching math. Focusing on collaboration between students and teachers.

Dreambox is a game changer. It provides millions of individual learning paths.
