Grade Calculation:

Mrs. Hungerford uses weighted categories instead of points for grading.  To calculate your student's grade you must:

1. average each category

2. multiply each average by the category's percent weight

3. add each result to get the final percent

Because Algebra is a high school credit I have different weights for Algebra and General math.

Algebra:                                                             General Math:

Homework 10%                                                  Homework 15%

Participation 25% (notes/classwork)                  Participation 30% (notes/classwork)

Quizzes 15%                                                      Quizzes 20%

Tests 50%                                                           Tests 35%

Example:  Suppose your algebra student has a 95 average for homwork, a 100 average for participation, an 80 average on quizzes, and a 70 average for tests.  The grade would be calculated as follows.

95 x .10 = 9.5

100 x .25 = 25

80 x .15 = 12

70 x .50 = 35

9.5+25+12+35 = 81.5 or 82%
