Grade Point Average

Ideal Unit: Expressions & Equations Time Range: 3-4 Days Supplies: Pencil & Paper

Topics of Focus:

- Solving Equations

- Using Expressions

Driving Question “How can understanding how to calculate grade point average help students set goals for their future?”

Culminating Experience Evaluate the transcripts of different students.

Common Core Alignment:

o

6.EE 2c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems.

6.EE 2d. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).

8.EE 7. Solve linear equations in one variable.

A-SSE 1. Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.★

Procedures: A.) In “Grade Point Average”, students use report card data to calculate GPAs and determine what grades students need to meet their goals. B.) In “The Hypothetical Game”, students will determine the difference between boosting those percentages up in the last week of the quarter. What impact will it have on their overall GPA? Students will find out. C.) In “The Transcript”, students learn the difference between an “Academic” GPA and the GPA that appears on their transcript. Students will set goals for the senior years of four different characters to help them achieve their goals. Unless it’s too late. * Aspects of the project can be completed independently. The entire project does not need to be completed to have a great learning experience, though it is suggested because it will best scaffold the skills and context.


Grade Point Average

It’s Friday. The Friday. The Friday that signals the end of the grading period. Students dig deep in their backpacks, bake a dozen cookies to schmooze a teacher and turn in as many missing assignments as possible before the final bell. The Honor Roll, the basketball team, and everyone’s cell phone privileges are decided on this day. As important as it is, some students are not sure how to calculate their GPA. Today we practice!

In unweighted systems, grade points are awarded by the following system: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and F = 0. These points are added together and divided by the total number of classes to calculate GPA. Calculate the GPAs of the students in this assignment and help them determine if they have met their goals.

The Hypothetical Game

An 88% in science with one week before the end of the grading period. What happens in the following week says a lot about a student. A sense of urgency is a feeling one gets when it’s down to crunch time and they have to act. Do or die. Some students will push ahead to get the 88% to an A. Others will chillax with the 88%. It is students like these that drive teachers crazy. Do they understand that those two stinky little percentage points might impact their future? Eligibility for some scholarships! Moving up or down their class rank! What truly is the difference this makes?

In this assignment, we will explore the differences and how that might impact a student’s GPA. Imagine it is a couple days before the end of the grading period and these students need some advice. Calculate the Best and the Worst case scenarios for their GPA and find the difference between them.

(Remember, unweighted grade points are awarded by the following system: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and F = 0. These points are added together and divided by the total number of classes to calculate GPA.)

The Transcript

Colleges and scholarship committees look at thousands of pieces of paper every year. What’s on these papers shape futures and opportunities for the next generation. Students often are confused when they look at a transcript. A lot ask, “Where did all of my other grades go?” Next to each class is a single grade. The final grade. Some teachers use a formula to calculate this grade based on the year. Others use the total percentage of points earned, but nonetheless this is the ONE mark that travels with you forever. A lot of report cards look like this:

Sample Report Card

Course Q1 Q2 ME Q3 Q4 FE F Algebra 1 B A C B B B B

World History D A B D A B B

Some schools do not use ME (Midterm Exam) or FE (Final Exam), but all use the Final Grade. It’s true all those other GPAs that you calculated quarter-by-quarter don’t really matter much outside of the Honor Roll and extracurricular eligibility. The actual GPA that you’ll see on your transcript is calculated with ONLY the final grades of each class. (This is why your GPA usually won’t change during the school year).

In this assignment, there are 4 fictional students who have just completed their Junior Year and are setting their sights on college – and you are their Guidance Counselor. They all want to set a GPA goal and need to know what they need to do in their Senior Year to get there. By calculating the number of grade points they have earned and how many they need to reach their goal, they can make this prediction. Unfortunately some of these students got themselves into some GPA trouble early in high school, but have been battling back ever since. The students also need to know their “Academic” GPA. Some colleges only look at the “Academic” GPA which is their own calculation that usually only counts classes in Math, English, Social Studies, Science and World Languages. They do not count courses in the arts and other electives. Some colleges believe that by excluding these classes (that may inflate a GPA) they get a better measurement of a student’s college readiness. Colleges also typically toss out weighted grades, but do have their own calculation that puts value on taking more rigorous courses.

You’ll see this table on the transcript. This is a measurement of a student’s GPA each school year. The last column represents “Cumulative GPA”. This is the student’s current GPA calculating every completed year.

Nice things to know:

- For an incoming college freshman, the minimum GPA to play a sport is 2.0. In 2015, it will be 2.333! - There is no hard minimum GPA to go to college. Certain colleges have different requirements.

Obviously more competitive scholarships and highly-selective colleges have higher standards (think 3.8 GPA and above), but this is not a rule.

- Many colleges consider a 3.0 GPA a solid baseline for applicants, but again there are many other factors that weigh into decisions (such as: test scores, essays, recommendations, community service).
