DreamBox Math: Getting Students Started (Educators)

Follow the tips in this article to help get your students logged in, placed in the program, and playing DreamBox Math.

Verify Your Classroom Information

The first time you log in to your DreamBox Math educator dashboard, review your classroom roster and settings to make sure they are correct. The links below provide detailed information on each item you should check.

Review your classroom rosters and adjust student details

Review and adjust student placement

A student's placement level determines where that student will start in either the Launchpad Assessment or the DreamBox Math curriculum. We recommend the following:

For new-to-DreamBox Math students: Review and adjust students' Initial Placement levels in your dashboard before students log in for the first time.

For students who have logged in to DreamBox Math at least once: Review their Initial Standing level and progress in the Progress report before they start playing lessons again, or begin the Launchpad Assessment.
- If you think their current placement should be adjusted, please contact our Customer Support Team
- If they have not been placed (but have logged in), open your classroom roster and check their initial placement and grade level.

Confirm Student Sign-in Method and Details

Before you can prepare student devices, you need to know how your students will sign in to DreamBox Math. Students sign in to DreamBox Math in several ways:

A Single Sign-On portal (SSO) like Clever, ClassLink, or your district portal or LMS using a text username and password, Clever Badge, or ClassLink QR code.
Via Direct DreamBox Login either by a website address that is unique to your school (laptop, desktop computer, Chrome Book) or a unique school code (iPad).
Via the Discovery Education (DE) sign-in page using a text username and password, QR code, or Single Sign-On (SSO) method like Google Classroom, Clever, or ClassLink (using either text username and password, Clever Badge, or ClassLink Quick Card)

Check with your DreamBox Math administrator if you are unsure which method your students will use.
