[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I would post this here. DD is an 8th grader, taking Geometry now. Algebra I was easy. Her current Geometry teacher sends out a summary of how the kids in class are doing, including class averages. Here's how things are going:

Formative 1 - 86.5%
Formative 2 - 82.6%
Summative 1 - 88.2%

IIRC, everything up to Summative 1 was review.

Formative 3 - 94.2%
Summative 2 - 94.1%
Formative 4 - 96.3%
Summative 3 - 91.7%
Formative 5 - 85.7%
Summative 4 - 86.5%
Formative 6 - 84.2%
Summative 5 - 83.8%
Formative 7 - 74.7%

Next summative is next week. The trendlines are not great. [/quote]

Do these averages seem high or low?  What is expected for this class at this grade level?  Most to get As as it is all the love-math/math-inclined kids?  Averages above don’t suggest all kids can do the math in their sleep.[/quote]

To me, averages look okay until this last test. The interesting thing to me is that DD's scores are trending in the exact opposite direction. She had the hardest time early on, but has been doing well of late. [/quote]
