3. Student New Features Standards Gradebook – Point Based Grading Scales

4. Student New Features Standards Gradebook – Decaying Average
The Decaying Average is a type of Mastery Level Calculation for Standards-Based Grading that puts more weight on the most recent score. The Decaying Average formula recognizes that the most recent score is more representative of the student's current mastery level and thus puts more weight on that score (as opposed to a straight average that counts the student's first work and most recent work as equally important). On the other hand, it also recognizes that past work might be relevant; it is still part of the whole picture (as opposed to the Most Recent formula which only counts the most recent score).
