GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is the average point value of all of your grades. GPA is calculated each quarter as a term GPA. The average of all of your term GPAs will create your cumulative GPA.
Use the image to the left to identify the point value of each letter grade.
Pretend the grades on your left on your current grades. These can be used to predict your final quarter GPA. You can calculate the GPA by adding the points of each letter grade:
Math -> B -> 3
Science -> A -> 4
History -> A -> 4
Language Arts -> B -> 3
Social Studies -> B -> 3
3+4+4+3+3= 17
Now divide by the total number of classes, which in this case is 5 classes:
17/ 5 = 3.4
