DreamBox Math: The Activity Feed Report (Educators)

In addition to usage and progress data, the DreamBox Math Insight Dashboard allows educators to track every lesson their students played in the last 30 days.  The Activity Feed report provides actionable information on what lessons and lesson groups students are playing, if students are completing lessons with understanding, and play similar lessons as a teacher. 

Activity Feed Basics

Who can see the Activity Feed report?

Administrators and teachers can view student activity for an entire classroom or specific student. 

When does the report update?

The Activity Feed report updates in almost real-time.

The Activity Feed Layout

The data in the classroom and single-student Activity Feed reports is divided into two columns. The image below shows the Activity Feed report for an entire classroom. 

Reading Activity Cards and Playing Sample Lessons

There are two types of Activity Cards. The images below are from a single student's activity card. 

Note: All lessons launched from the dashboard will be in English. The numbers in lesson problems may be different than what the student saw.

Lesson Cards

Lesson Group Cards

To complete a Lesson Group with Demonstrated Understanding, a student must demonstrate proficiency in all content contained in the Lesson Group. Depending on how well they complete lessons, one student may not need to play every lesson in a group to demonstrate proficiency while another student may need to play each lesson multiple times.

What do the Activity Card icons mean?

Meaning

The student completed a single lesson with demonstrating understanding. 

Check the lesson attempts at the bottom of the card to see if this is the first time the student played this lesson or if they needed to play it multiple times.

The student completed a lesson group with demonstrated understanding. To demonstrate understanding in a Lesson Group, students must demonstrate proficiency on all the lessons they play that are part of the group. 

Note: Depending on how well they complete lessons, one student may not need to play every lesson in a group to demonstrate proficiency while another student may need to play each lesson multiple times.

The student completed a lesson without demonstrating understanding. If a student does not demonstrate understanding, the program will adapt by either presenting the student with the same lesson so they can try it again, or present a different lesson that may better meet their learning needs. 

Check the lesson attempts at the bottom of the card to see if this is the first time the student played this lesson or if they have played it more than once without demonstrating understanding.

The student stopped playing the lesson before they finished it. The student will still be able to see and select this lesson from their Lesson Chooser until they complete it. 

 

The lesson is part of a long or short-term assignment. 

• Blue star calendar = Short-Term assignment
• Multiple day calendar = Long-Term assignment
