Teachers calculate grades by adding up the total points earned on all assignments and dividing it by the total possible points. For example, if a student earned 850 points out of a possible 1,000 points, their grade percentage would be 85. Grades are calculated using addition and division for individual assignments, progress, and final grades. Weighted grading systems also use multiplication, weighting some assignments or classes more than others in calculating the overall grade.

I think teachers computed our grades by taking the
number of points you have earned on every assignment and add them together. Then divide this number by the number of possible points in the entire course. So if, for instance, you have earned 850 points total in a class where there were 1,000 possible points, your grade percentage in that class is 85. They use addition and division to calculate your grade on an individual assignment or test, your progress in class and your final class grade. For weighted grading systems, you'll also have to multiply assignment or class scores by the assigned weight. If assignments come with different point values, each one will be worth a specific percentage of your overall grade. In that case, some assignments will count more toward your class grade than others will.
