    Grading Policy

    The purpose and focus of this class is LEARNING. The grade you earn will reflect your level of learning and understanding of the 7th grade math learning targets. Daily practice and organization is important to solidify your understanding of concepts. Overall grades mean the following:

     

    4: Exceptional understanding of the learning targets, student regularly goes above and beyond

     

    3: Solid understanding of the learning targets

     

    2: Learning is in-development, more learning is needed to meet the targets

     

    1: Significant  learning is needed to meet the targets
