How to Add Students

Note: Teachers who are part of a school/district account cannot add classes or students. This is done by the account administrator.

There are multiple ways to add students:

  1. Rostering via Google Classroom
  2. Add multiple students by copying and pasting (or entering) a list
  3. Importing students with a .csv file
  4. Adding students individually

This article will outline each of these options following the order of the above list.

Rostering via Google Classroom

Note: To upload your class list from Google Classroom, you will need to have created a MathFactLab teacher account using an email address that is associated with a Google Classroom account.  

Also note: MathFactLab does not yet offer Google single sign-on for students. Rostering via Google Classroom essentially copies your Google Classroom class list and pastes it into your MathFactLab account.

  1. Go to the Classes tab and click 'Upload class list from Classroom'. 

  2. You will see your available Google Classrooms.  Select the one(s) you wish to import. 

  3. If you try to upload using an account not associated with a Google Classroom account, you may get an error message.

Add Multiple Students by Copying/Pasting (Or Entering) a List 

  1. Go to the Students tab, hover over the green + button in the top right corner, and select 'Add Multiple Students'. 

  2. You will be shown a 4-step popup that will walk you through the steps. 

Import Students with a .CSV File

  1. Go to the Students tab, hover over the green + button in the top right corner, and select 'Import Student List'. 

  2. You will be shown the below popup.  Just follow the steps listed to complete the process.   

  3. The current limit is 100 students per file.  Make sure to delete the sample students before you save.  

  4. When you have finished entering your data, make sure to save it as a .csv file.  It needs to be in .csv format to be uploadable.  

  5. Upload the file by clicking the upload field or dragging the .csv file to it.  Depending on the size of the file, importing may take up to a minute or two.    

To Add Students Individually 

To add students, first make sure that you have created at least one class (unless you have a parent account).  

  1. Go to the Students tab, hover over the green + button in the top right corner, and select 'Import Student List'.

  2. Clicking this button will bring you to the Add Student screen.  

3. Enter the student's last name and first name.  The student's username and password will be autogenerated, but you can override these.  

4. Make sure to select the correct class (if you have created more than one) and the learning mode that you would like the student to begin on. 

5. Click the add button in the top right to save.  

To add additional students, follow the same process.
