Grading Policy

 
Grade 6 Math Grading Policy

Tests:  45%
There will be at least two major tests each quarter.  Students will need to review notes, packets, 
Study Links, and quizzes.  Only material presented for mastery will be included on the test.  Tests 
will be announced at least one week in advance.

Quizzes:  30%
There will be two to three quizzes per unit of study.  Quizzes may contain spiraling topics from math 
boxes.  Quizzes may be unannounced but usually will be announced one to two days in advance.

Performance assessments:  15%
These are projects, Do Nows, exit cards, or open-ended problem solving work that can be assessed 
for a grade.

Homework:  10%
This grade is based on completion, in pencil, with work shown.

Grades are based on an overall percentage.  A straight average cannot be used to determine a grade, 
as different items are weighted differently.  Please contact me if you have any concerns about your 
child's grade.
