Instructional groups allow teachers and personnel to create and edit custom sets of students at will, and to see which skills the students in the instructional group are ready to learn based on their median Scaled Scores.

Instructional groups created in the Record Book are not the same as those created for reporting purposes.

There are two ways to access the Record Book; use whichever method you prefer, then go to step 1:

  • Click Star Math on the Home page, then click Record Book.



    or
  • Click Record Book in the Important Features section of the Star Math Enterprise Home page.

  1. In the Record Book, choose the students whose data you want to view by using the School , Class or Group , Benchmark , and Sort by options.

  2. To the right of the Sort by drop-down list, click Edit Instructional Groups .
  3. On the Edit Instructional Groups page, use the Instructional Groups drop-down list to decide how many instructional groups you want to put the students in .



    • You can have from 1–10 instructional groups, plus one Unassigned group (the default number is 4).
    • Instructional groups are user-specific; they can only be used by the person who created them.
  4. To assign a student to an instructional group, click the intersection of the student's row and the instructional group's column .

    • A student can only belong to one instructional group or the Unassigned group.
    • You do not have to place students in every group you create; you can keep a group empty and put students into it later if you want to.
  5. Click Save when you are finished. Click Cancel to leave this page without saving your changes.
