Grade Weighting
-
Because grades are weighted, you cannot calculate your grades by dividing the points you earned by total points possible.
Math 8 grades are weighted as follows:
- 70% - Assessments (Tests, Quizzes, Projects, Etc.)
- 30% - Practice Work (Homework, Online Participation, Etc.)
Algebra and Geometry grades are weighted as follows:
- 80% - Assessments (Tests, Quizzes, Projects, Etc.)
- 20% - Practice Work (Homework, Online Participation, Etc.)
Grade Scale
-
The grading scale for this course is as follows:
- 100% - 90% = A
- 89% - 80% = B
- 79% - 70% = C
- 69% - 60% = D
- 59% or below = F
“+” and “-“ grades are given
Extra Credit
-
It is important that each student does their best at all times!
The grade a student receives needs to be a true reflection of their effort and achievement. I do not provide extra credit to inflate a student’s overall class grade.Sometimes there are bonus problems on tests and sometimes I will randomly decide to give bonus points to students who go above and beyond what is requested of them.
