Grading for Equity week 4: Practices that are Mathematically Accurate (Chapter 7) #Grade4EqChat

This week in the Grading for Equity Twitter chat, we are finally digging in to the meat of the book. We'll slow down a bit; fewer questions and only one chapter per week.

This week, we are looking at chapter 7: Practices that are Mathematically Accurate.

1. What grading scale do you currently use? What are your thoughts about it now that you’ve read this chapter?
2. If you’ve assigned a zero, was it intended primarily to affect students mathematically or psychologically? Knowing that it is mathematically unsound and demotivating as well as inaccurate, does that change your opinion of it?
3. Did you have any particular light bulb moments while reading this chapter?
4. What other ideas in this chapter would you like to discuss? Do you have any concerns?

Last week's chat is archived here. You can access all the past chats from the resources section. See you tonight!
