How to move students from one class to another

There are two easy ways to move students between Maths classes or between Pastoral classes. The method you choose will depend on how many students you are moving:

I want to change class and/or year group for ONE or a FEW students:

To move an individual or small number of students:

  1. Go to Accounts > Classes.

  2. Tick the name(s) of the student(s).

  3. Click Move in the top menu

  4. Click Move to Maths Class button and choose the class you wish to move them to.

I want to change class and/or year group for LOTS of students:

You can move existing students with the CSV uploader. Here's how:

OPTIONAL - Step 1 - Download a logins spreadsheet:

Matching students from your spreadsheet to existing users is the trickiest part of the steps below. To make it easy, you can optionally download your current user list:

  1. Go to Account > Classes

  2. Tick all classes

  3. Click Download > Logins Spreadsheet

This gives you each student's exact name and username, which helps our system match.

Tip: If you decide to skip this step and simply use a list of students exported from your MIS (which won't include the current TTRS/NumBots username) please be sure to double-check the student matches.

Step 2 - Prepare your spreadsheet:

Prepare a spreadsheet with these columns.

(If you've done step 1, you'll already have this spreadsheet and you just need to update the class and year group.)

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Class - enter their new class name

  • Year group - enter their new year group (e.g. "Year 4", "4", "Y4")

Our system matches students by name, but adding a Username column (containing the current TTRS/NumBots username for that student) ensures perfect, hassle-free matching.

So your spreadsheet will hopefully look a bit like this:

Step 3 - Upload your spreadsheet:​

Once your spreadsheet is ready, go to:

  • Account

  • Classes

  • Click 'Upload CSV' at the top.​

Follow the steps.

It will do all the heavy lifting... creating classes for you if necessary and putting students into their new classes, while preserving their performance data and progress.
