What are Lesson Groups in DreamBox Math? Math lessons in DreamBox come in groups, with each successive lesson building on the skills and concepts the student was working on in the previous lesson. While they may look and feel the same, each progressive lesson will offer more challenging questions or offer less assistance to find the solution. Multiple lessons make up a Lesson Group, and multiple Lesson Groups make up a Standard or Domain in DreamBox Math. |
The Currently Playing Section
This section provides you with insight into what Lesson Groups your students are currently working on as well as what Grade Level and Domain. The Currently Playing section will update throughout the week. Select view standards report in the top right corner to take a deeper look at which standards your students are working on.
When you are preparing for your upcoming week, you can look at where your students played last week and use this information to create small groups for specific focus areas, send student messages, or make assignments.
