Preparing Your iPad and Gathering the Login Information You Need

Before you begin, make sure the following apps have been downloaded on the iPad, or updated to the most recent version.

To make sure the login process goes as smoothly as possible, make sure you know how the student will log in and have their credentials ready. 

• If a student will type their username and password to log in, you need the student’s district single sign-on username and password.
• If the student will use a Clever Badge or ClassLink QuickCard, make sure you have these ready. 

Note: You can navigate to the Clever Portal or the ClassLink Launchpad via Safari, but using their apps will provide a more streamlined and independent experience for students.

Logging in with Single Sign-On

Step 1: Tap the Clever, ClassLink Launchpad, or ClassLink QuickCard app, and follow the directions to log in using text password, Clever Badge, or ClassLink Quick Card.

Step 2: When the app opens, select the DreamBox Math icon. The student's Math account will open and they can start playing.

Note: Students' SSO login credentials are created and managed by your school or district. DreamBox Customer Support does not have access to them. If you need to verify your student's login credentials please contact your student's teacher and/or district IT department.

Note: If a student logs into their school account from home, they should still select School.

• Enter your school's unique school code and tap the play button.  

Note: You will only have to enter this code once for each device unless the Math app is deleted. If you are a teacher and need help locating your school code, click here.

• After the screen updates, students can log in in one of two ways.

Text Username and Password
Students enter their username and password in the Text Login box.

Classroom Code and Picture Password
Students will:

• Enter their classroom code
• Tap their student avatar

• Select their picture password.

 

Note: Classroom codes were implemented as an additional authentication layer to our login process to protect our users. We value our students' security and privacy, so it is not possible to save a classroom code or password. This greatly minimizes the risk that a student or teacher account can be accessed by an unauthorized user, especially through a shared device or by someone outside of school.
