5. 5th & 6th Grade Grading Comparison
Example: Suppose a student performed exactly the same in 5th and 6th grade. Let’s see how the grade weighting affects the students average!
5th Grade:
Homework: 100%
Classwork: 100%
Effort: 100%
Test Grades: 86 78 91 64
Test Average of 79.75
5th Grade Final Avg:
100 x .20 = 20
100 x .10 = 10
79.75 x .50 =
Final Grade: or 90%
6th Grade:
Homework: 100%
Class Performance: 100%
Test Grades: 86 78 91 64
Test Average of 79.75
6th Grade Final Avg:
100 x .20 = 20
100 x .10 = 10
79.75 x .70 =
Final Grade: or 86%
