Hello 7th graders!
For 7th grade, we will complete chapter one as it has a lot of review concepts anyway, and then we will continue to review any additional information as necessary until standardized testing which begins the week of September 19th. After testing is over, we will continue on in the text. Your text has set up all but one chapter into two main sections. Depending on the depth of the material, we will quiz mid-chapter then test at the end of the chapter.
Grading will be on a Weighted Percent System.
Classwork 10% -- There will not be many points in this category but I will use it on occasion.
Homework 25% -- For the most part, homework will be out of four points and completion based.
Quizzes 15% -- After ITBS testing, there will be an average of one quiz a chapter for most chapters.
Tests 50% -- We will have at least one test before ITBS testing, and one per chapter for the remainder of the year.
Weighted Percent System Explanation
If you have the following averages in each category:
Classwork: 100%
Homework: 83%
Quizzes: 92%
Tests: 87%
This is how you would figure out your grade.
Classwork: 10% × 100% = 10%
Homework: 25% × 83% = 20.75%
Quizzes: 15% × 92% = 13.8%
Tests: 50% × 87% = 43.5%
Sum of 4 categories (10+20.75+13.8+43.5)=88.05%
I am looking forward to this year, and I hope you are as well!
