25. Calculating Averages in the Gradebook • There are four ways to calculate averages: • Weighted Categories • Weighted Categories and Assignments • Total Points Only • Category Total Points

26. Weighted Categories • Each assignment is converted to a percentage. • Assignments are averaged within each category. • Averages from each category are then multiplied by their given weight and added to find the term average.

28. Weighted Categories

29. Weighted Categories • Term average is calculated in this way:(80 x 25/100) + (80 x 25/100) + (90 x 50/100) = 85%

30. Weighted Categories and Assignments • Each assignment is converted to a percentage. • Assignments are multiplied by their given weight and then added to calculate the category average. • Category averages are then multiplied by their given weight and added to get the term average.

34. Total Points Only • Assignments are NOT converted to percentages. • All points a student receives for each assignment are added together. • Total points possible for each assignment are added together. • The term average for a student is the sum of the points earned divided by the sum of the points possible.
