For each assigned IXL objective students will be graded in two parts:
Part 1.
When students are assigned an IXL objective they will be required to complete 5 problems. This will be due the following school day, time will be given to work in class daily, but if it is not finished it will have to be completed as homework. In order to receive credit for their assignment they will need to:
- Complete 5 problems in the assigned objective.
- Organize and show all the work that is required by the teacher.
- Copy the problem
- Show a map of their work (writing down every step they take to solve the problem)
- Annotate (write down the problem in an English sentence and explain each step they took to solve the problem)
- Circle their answer
- Indicate if each problem is wrong or right.
- Record their SmartScore in the top right hand corner under their name, date, and assignment.
- Turn in their work.
Part 2
This part of the assignment will be graded on mastery of the objective. Mastery is achieved by receiving a SmartScore of 100. For this part, a percentage score will be given a week after the objective is assigned. However, if a student wants to continue to work towards mastery after the week is up they can still improve their mastery grade.
Example
A student, after a week, has a SmartScore of 75. In the grade book this student will receive 75%. If they know they can do better they can continue to work on this objective until they have an acceptable SmartScore . Then they will have to fill out and turn in the Objective Mastery Form. Then the teacher will change their grade in the grade book to the final score.
Mastery grades can only be changed if the objective was assigned in the current quarter.
Here is an example of a Objective Mastery Form. The forms are located in the classroom, by the turn in bins.
