Q: What opportunities do students have to boost up their math average?
A: For each chapter, students may do the "Castle-On Line" task that corresponds with that chapter. The on-line grade may be swapped out for any lower quiz or homework grade from the same chapter. To activate the "swap-out", students should email Mrs. Bianchi upon completion of a Castle assignment. This will prompt Mrs. Bianchi to verify your score on Castle, then switch your lower grade to the score achieved on Castle. It is recommended that students check their Aspen accounts to verify that the switch has occurred. (A note will appear next to the score that was switched.) In your email, write the following: "I'd like to swap my Castle Chapter ___ for the lower score I achieved of ___% on __________ (Label) from _________(date)."
To find the activity, go to "incomplete assignment." Select the current chapter and begin. Work will be automatically saved in the event that you need to return to the activity later. Unlike some Quia activities, students will only get one opportunity to complete the activity. Do your best! It is recommended that students complete the swap immediately after the corresponding chapter has been completed. For example, if we take the Chapter 2 Test on October 26, the next few days students should be working on their Castle Chapter 2 activity.
If the score you achieved on Castle is actually lower than any of your homework and quiz grades, then you have just lost your opportunity to improve your average for that chapter. The Castle Score will only be recorded on Aspen if it helps your average.
Due to the fact that all of the instruction on each learning standard is reviewed at the end of a unit, it is recommended that swap outs are attempted shortly after the chapter test. (More learning may occur as a result of viewing errors on the test.)
All Castle swap outs need to be completed well before the end of the quarter. Castle Log on Help Link

Grading Scheme:
There are four main grading categories.
Tests 50% of the quarter grade. (Multiply the average of the tests by 0.5 to get test points earned.)
Quizzes 30% of the quarter grade. ( Multiply the average of the quizzes by 0.3 to get quiz points earned.)
Homework 10% of the quarter grade, (Multiply the average of the homework by 0.1 to get HW points earned.)
Practice: 10% of the quarter grade. (Multiply the average of the practice by 0.1 to get HW points earned.)
Add up all of the points to get the average for the quarter.
Tests count heaviest because by the time that students take a test, there should be the highest level of student confidence on the material. (Compared to "practice" when the material is all brand new.)
