DreamBox Math Educator Dashboard: How to Adjust a Student's Learning Environment

This article walks through how educators can move a student from the K-2nd grade learning environment to the 3rd-5th grade learning environment. The new environment only changes what students see as they select lessons and what incentives they can access, not the lesson content. Students will still have access to lessons in the K-2 curriculum.

If you need to make any other learning environment adjustments, please reach out to our Customer Support Team.

FAQs

Q: Why did students disappear when I updated their learning environment from the K-2nd grade environment to the 3rd-5th grade environment?

A: The most likely cause of students disappearing from the Learning Environment tab is a learning environment update to the grades 3-5 environment. The Learning Environment tab only lists students who see the K-2nd grade environment when they sign in to DreamBox Math. Any student you update students' environment to the 3rd-5th grade environment will be removed from this list, because they are now in a different environment.
