Math Diagnostic Dashboard – Accelerated Reader

On this page, you can see more information about your students' Accelerated Math Instructional Practice data, including percent correct for practices and quizzes and total subskills mastered.

How to Get to the Math Diagnostic Dashboard

On the Home page, select Reports; then, select Math Practice in the menu that opens.
On the Reports page, the Math Practice tab will be selected. Select Math Diagnostic Dashboard in the Mastery Status section of the page.

Choosing the Class

Select the first drop-down to choose the class whose data you want to see.

the class selection link

In the window that opens, choose the school (if shown), the teacher, and the class. The selections that you need to make depend on your position; teachers typically only need to choose the class to work with. (You can search the items in a column by clicking within that column and then typing Ctrl+F or control-F on the keyboard.) When you're done, select Apply.

Choose the Time Period

Use the second drop-down list to choose the time period that you want to view data for: all time, the current school year, the current marking period, the last 30 days, or the last 7 days.

Which marking period is used if you select Marking Period?

Marking periods are set up for all Renaissance software by administrators or non-teaching staff.

The Dashboard views only recognize marking periods that have the type set to "Marking Period" (not other types such as quarters or semesters).

In the Dashboard views, when you choose Marking Period as the time period to view data for, the Dashboard uses the current marking period that has the type set to Marking Period.

You can't select Marking Period if no school marking periods are set up in the Renaissance software.

Choose the Groups to View

All groups that have been created for the class are listed on the left side of the page.

If you don't want to show a group or student on the graphs, select the check mark to remove it from the circle as shown below.

Viewing Group Names Only

If you only want to see the groups as a whole on the metric graphs, use the arrow to the right of the group name to collapse the group.

When you do this, only the groups will be shown on the metric graphs, not the names of the students within the groups. The scores you see for a group are the median of the scores of the students in the group.

Viewing Student Names

If you want to see student names, both within the groups and on the metric graphs, select the arrow to the right of the collapsed group name.

When you do this, student names will show on the graphs instead of group names.

You can move the cursor over a student's name to see that student's specific data for the metric. In the example below, Hannah's average percent correct for Accelerated Math Instructional Practice quizzes is 93.3%.

Viewing the Metrics

By default, three graphs are shown for Accelerated Math Instructional Practice data:

AM Practice % Correct: Average percent correct that the students achieved on practices for Accelerated Math Instructional Practice within the timeframe you chose. 75% or higher is within the green area.
AM Quiz % Correct: Average percent correct that the students achieved on Accelerated Math Instructional Practice quizzes within the timeframe you chose. 85% or higher is within the green area.
AM Total Subskills Mastered: The total number of subskills mastered during the selected timeframe.

No Data

Students who have not done any work in Accelerated Math Instructional Practice in the selected timeframe will be listed under No Data below each of the graphs. Some students may have data for some graphs and not others; for example, a student may have worked on practices, but not quizzes yet, so that student would not have data for quiz percent correct or subskills mastered. If your school has Star Math, but is not using Accelerated Math Instructional Practice, all students will be listed under No Data.

Changing the Number of Metrics Shown

If you don't want to show all three of the metrics, select the drop-down list above the graphs and choose the number of metrics that you want to see.

Changing the Order or the Metrics Shown

To change the order of metrics shown (or the metrics that are shown if you've chosen fewer than 3), select the title of each metric and choose the graph that you want to show in that position.

Showing Connections Between Graphs

By default, the Show connections box is checked, and lines will connect each student name or group on the three graphs. This makes it easy to see where a specific student or group falls on each graph. The line is the same color as the student or group name. If students don't have any data for one of the columns, the lines to the remaining columns will be dashed instead of solid.

If you do not want to show the connections, remove the check mark from the Show connections box above the graphs.
