T8 Algebra 1
Averaging Grades
Grades should be averaged at the end of each quarter (nine weeks). In your
grade book, you may find it helpful to distinguish between quiz and test grades
by recording the quiz grades in blue or black ink and the test grades in red ink.
At the end of the quarter, follow this procedure:
1. Average all quiz grades. This average will count as one-third of the
quarter grade.
2. Average the test grades for the quarter, except for the final test of the
quarter. This average will count as one-third of the quarter grade.
3. The final one-third of the quarter grade is the Quarter, Semester, or
Final Exam.
4. Figure a semester grade by averaging quarter grades. For a first semester
grade, average the first quarter grade with the second quarter grade; for
a second semester grade, average the third quarter grade with the fourth
quarter grade.

he introductory material of this manual along with the Daily Guides provides the
assistance needed for a successful school year. The following reminders will
help you get off to a great start.
Students’ daily supplies:
•• pens
•• pencils
•• notebook paper
•• notebook (for homework assignments)
•• spiral notebook
•• graph paper
•• metric / English ruler
•• compass
•• protractor
Daily Guides information:
•• Pages Taught — what material is covered daily
•• Materials Needed — what things to have ready daily
•• Teacher Instructions — what to do daily
Helpful tips:
•• Preview the first few lessons and other lessons as noted in the Daily
Guides to familiarize yourself with the video teacher’s procedures.
•• Remember that your own quiet, orderly routines will be an important
part of your learning environment.
•• If particular procedures or activities used in the video classroom are not
ideal for your unique situation, you should feel free to adjust to your
needs. These may or may not be specifically mentioned in the Daily
Guides.
•• Mastery of key concepts as well as successful comprehension and
retention naturally result from training your students to mentally
participate and respond with the video class during reviews, drills, and
questions.
W e trust that these Daily Guides will be a great help as you begin an exciting new
school year!
