The Impact Report provides two different ways to explore how much students are learning 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. |
Opening and Closing the Report
To open the DreamBox Impact Report:
-
Choose Reports in the Top Navigation pane.
- Click Select or the entire DreamBox Impact tile.
To close the report and return to the Reports page, click Close Report, located in the top right corner of the report.
Impact Report Metrics
The Impact Report tracks student progress using two different metrics that complement each other:
Progress |
Standards |
Track the progress of your students through the DreamBox curriculum. As students complete and show proficiency in lessons – no matter the grade level – their Progress continues to improve showing their mastery of DreamBox’s lessons. | Track how many standards students have demonstrated proficiency for since the beginning of the school year, regardless of the grade level. |
The Progress and Standards metrics only include lessons students have completed with demonstrated understanding. |
The report data for each metric 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
Completing 5 lessons per week is the recommended usage for DreamBox Math. |
Understanding the Report Layout
The layout of the report is the same regardless of which metric, month, or student group is selected in the filters (school, teacher, or classroom). However, each metric is calculated, broken down, and displayed differently in the report.
- Progress: Broken down via percentages (whole numbers only)
- Standards: Broken down via Standard count (Rounded to the hundredth and tenth places)
Printing and Exporting the Report
Printing the Report
Use the Print button to generate a printer-friendly image of the report.- Open the report and use the filters to select the data you wish to view.
- Click the Print button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- Follow the prompts on your device to adjust and print the report.
Note: Some internet browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, have a setting that may prevent the proficiency chart from printing. Click here. to open instructions to change the setting. |
Exporting the Report

- Click the Export icon to download the data.
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.
Click here to open directions to set Group filters and see additional FAQs. |
Q: How does the Proficiency Standard display in the dashboard affect the Impact Report metrics? |
A: All DreamBox Math lessons are aligned to multiple sets of academic Math standards. The set of academic standards, or Proficiency Standards, displayed in the Insight Dashboard affects the metrics on the report. If you select a different Proficiency Standard on the Reports page and then open the Impact Report, you may see different numbers in each metric because how students progress through standards is dependent on the lesson standard alignment. Not all standards have the same amount of aligned lessons.
Q: Why are the Impact Report metrics broken down to visualize progress based on how often students complete lessons? |
A: Consistent usage is the strongest determiner of student progress. Breaking down each metric by how often students are completing lessons allows educators to see how student usage is impacting student progress. Educators are able to see how their students are growing in their mathematical journey and which groups of students may need additional time and support.
Q: How is the Standards metric different from the Standards Proficient metric from the Legacy Dashboard? |
Standards (Impact Report Metric) |
Standards Proficient (Legacy Dashboard Metric) |

Q: Why do some students who have completed the same amount of lessons show very different progress and standards gained? |
A: These students had different starting points in the DreamBox Math curriculum and aligned standards.
