Maybe This Will Help - Math Grading Explained

Math grades are based on a weighted scale. Homework and class work comprise 10% of the grade. Assessments (tests, quizzes, projects, presentations, evidence cards, etc.) comprise 90% of the grade. In Parent-Connect, homework will be designated by “HW”. All other assignments are considered assessments.

How to figure the current grade:

Number of HOMEWORK points EARNED
------------------------------------------------------ = ____ X 10 = “HOMEWORK” grade
Number of HOMEWORK points POSSIBLE

Number of ASSESSMENT points EARNED
------------------------------------------------------- = _____ X 90 = “ASSESSMENT” grade
Number of ASSESSMENT points POSSIBLE

HOMEWORK grade + ASSESSMENT grade = CURRENT grade

The LETTER GRADE is determined with the following scale:

90 – 100	A
80 –89	B
70 –79	C
60 –69	D
Below 59	F

Below is an example of what you will see on Parent Connect:

                                 8 + 6           14
Homework Grade:    -------     =   -----    =     .777    X    10     =       7.77
                                10 + 8          18

                                   10+10+10+10+8+5+8+8+850        919
Assessment Grade:   ------------------------------------------ = ------ = .8517 X 90 = 76.65
                                 10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+999 1079

Current Percentage: 7.77 + 76.65 = 84.42% which is a “B”
