Grading Policy

Grading Policy 

There are four components that make up your child's grade.  The percentage next to the component indicates the importance of the component towards the overall grade.  

Tests 35% - 

Formative and Summative assessments are ways to determine if you/your child understands the math standards that are being taught.  Each chapter has a Mid Chapter Formative Assessment and an end of the Chapter Summative Assessment.  This is a major portion of your/your child's grade.

Classwork/Quizzes 40% -

This includes all the assignments done in class.  Most of the assignments that we complete will be done in the Go Math Chapter Workbooks.  I will be checking these workbooks daily to assure that students are keeping pace with the class.  Classwork assignments are graded using the check system.

Homework 10% -

Homework will be given from Monday-Thursday. Homework is given for students to practice/apply what they learn in class.  Homework will be given in the Go Math! Chapter Workbooks.  Each assignment will be scored using the check system.    

Class Participation 15% -

Students are expected to participate by being active learners.  Active learners are prepared with supplies, on time for class, and actively engaged in the lesson.

Each week students will receive a class participation grade of 0-3.  One point for being on time every day, one point for having your supplies daily, and one point for being engaged in the lesson with a positive attitude.
