The Impact Report allows educators to explore how many standards students have demonstrated proficiency in as they play DreamBox Math.
Impact Report Basics
How often does the Impact Report update?
Starting at the beginning of your school year, the Impact Report updates after the first of every month. All data in the report is cumulative, which means each month you will see the strides your students have made from the beginning of the school year up to the current month.
When will I see new data in the Impact Report after the school year starts?
The Impact Report will update on the first day of the month after your district's first day of the new school year.
| Example: If the first day of school for your district is September 5th, your Impact Report would update for the first time on October 1st. |

Tracking Standards in the Impact Report
Track how many standards students have demonstrated proficiency for since the beginning of the school year, regardless of grade level.
| The Standards metrics only include lessons students have completed with demonstrated understanding. |
The report data is broken down based on average student lesson completion per week, which is grouped into three categories:
- 0 to 2 or fewer lessons per week
- More than 2 to fewer than 5 lessons per week
- 5 or more lessons per week
| The recommended usage for DreamBox Math is completing 3-5 lessons per week. |
Understanding the Report Layout
The layout of the report is the same regardless of the month or student group is selected in the filters (school, teacher, or classroom). Standards are broken down via Standard count and rounded to the hundredth and tenth places.

Impact Report FAQs
| Q: Why can't I filter the report for custom groups I created? |
A: To see custom groups in the Impact report, select Groups from the Reports page before you open the report. If you don't do this before opening the report, you will not be able to see or move between your custom groups.

| Q: How do the academic standards selected in the educator dashboard affect the Impact Report metrics? |
A: All DreamBox Math lessons are aligned to multiple sets of academic Math standards. The academic standards displayed in the educator dashboard affect the metrics on the report. If you select a different academic standards sets from the Reports page and then open the Impact Report, you may see different numbers in the report. How students move through standards is dependent on the which lessons are aligned with which academic standards. The academic standards available in DreamBox Math are not aligned to the same amount of DreamBox Math lessons.
| Q: Why does the Impact Report visualize student proficiency based on how often students complete lessons? |
A: Consistent usage is the strongest determiner of student learning. Breaking down standard proficiency by how often students are completing lessons allows educators to see how student usage is impacting student learning. Educators are also able to see student proficiency along their mathematical journey and which student usage groups may need additional support and time on DreamBox Math.
| Q: Why do some students who have completed the same amount of lessons show very different metrics for standards gained? |
A: These students had different starting points in the DreamBox Math curriculum and aligned standards.
