Student grades are determined by the following:

The above grades will be added together and divided by the total number of possible points to find the quarter grade.

 

Recovery Grades:

My goal as a mathematics teacher is for you to learn mathematics.  The purpose of a quiz is to assess your mastery of a given concept, prior to a unit or chapter test.  If you have not mastered a concept at the time of a quiz, I want you to research your mistakes and try again.  The Recovery Grades program is designed to give you the opportunity to retake quizzes.  Only quizzes can be retaken and the only type of grades to be recovered are 77% or lower.  The highest grade one can receive is a 78%, so as not to compromise the grades of the students who did well the first time around.

How does the program work?

Any student who receives a 77% or below on a quiz will have the opportunity to retake the quiz again.  You will be required to study the material again and may receive outside help if necessary.  The recovery quiz will always be different than the original quiz.

Notes about the program:

1.      Students can never hurt their grade by taking the recovery quiz.

The following scale will be used for the recovery quizzes:

          Recovery Grade                                                  New Grade

                   94 – 100                                                      78

                   86 – 93                                                        77

                   83 – 85                                                        76

                   79 – 82                                                        75

                   76 – 78                                                        74

                   74 – 75                                                        73

                   72 – 73                                                        72

                   71                                                                71

                   70                                                               70

                   69 or below                                        the higher of the two grades
