In our classroom, students will be assessed on their skill levels . All skills are taken and adapted from the California Common Core State Standards. All problems on assessments will be graded on a 4 point scale. See a general rubric for Mathematics here.

Justification of this method for students and parents:
Students will be assessed on their skill levels at various times during the semester. They will be practicing all of the above skills throughout the semester. It is important to note that students are not expected to master a skill on their first try. Students will need to practice their skills often (homework and classwork) in order to work towards mastery. When students improve, their previous lower grades for a particular skill will not be averaged in to their overall skill level and will "disappear" from their grade calculation. Students' overall grades in Math 2 will be calculated using an average of the skill levels across all 9 skills listed above.
