My Learning Essentials
In the K to 12 curriculum, a student’s grade is based on his/her written work,
performance task and quarterly assessment.
The weights of the components (written work, performance task and quarterly
assessment) vary among groups of subjects from grade 1 to Grade 10 and from Grade 11 and 12
See Tables below:

My Learning Activities
2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1 to 10 and Grades
11 to 12. Give an example.
3. How do you compute grades at the end of the school year?
2. Do you have problems with the new grading system. If there is,
what?
3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of
your performance? Why or why not?
Activity 3: Grade Computation
Show sample computations of a grade in a subject of your choice either from Grade 1 to
10 or from Grades 11 to 12. Show the percentage contributions of written work, performance
tasks and quarterly assessment. Then give the descriptor. (Ask you Resource Teacher for his/her
help).
Subject: Grade:
Steps
2. Obtain the Percentage Score for each of the component by dividing the total raw score by the
highest possible score then multiply the quotient by 100%.
Percentage Score of Written Work ____
4. Add the weighted Scores of each component. This will give you the initial grade.
6. Give the descriptor of the computed final grade of the subject. Refer to Table of Descriptors
on p. 92.
My Analysis
4. Do you favour the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks and
quarterly assessment?
6. Did you like the experience of computing grades? Why or why not?
