Thank you! Is that posted anywhere publicly where parents can see? Is it something I should complain about? In ParentVue they are labeled as “Multiplication Facts”, notably different from the exit tickets, topic quizzes, or mid/end of module assessments. I can’t tell how they are weighted in comparison, since all I see is a letter grade vs the points I see for my MS kid.

Exit tickets should absolutely not be graded either. I don't think the document is supposed to be shared publicly. I would contact your school's staff development teacher-they are the ones in charge of math.

If they share it publicly, parents would be able to hold teachers to account vs. the variation seen across individual teachers & schools. Teachers and schools need some flexibility, but with certain system-wide evaluations affecting the learning opportunities/experiences of individuals (e.g., CES, criteria-based MS magnets, application programs, etc.) there should be a way to ensure that the system is comparing apples to apples.

You are concerned by the variation of 4th grade math grades? The kids are in 4th grade. 4th! The grades don’t matter. The variation doesn’t matter. Find something else to worry about. And work with your kid on her facts!

I have seen exit tickets graded at several schools.

Grades as in in the gradebook or just handed back with “grades?” I’m a dp but I teach and math exit ticks are NOT supposed to be taken for gradebook grades. Neither are sprints.

Yes, in gradebook grades at elementary and secondary schools.

Secondary schools don't use Eureka, but okay. [/quote

Pp stated exit tickets should not be graded, but okay.

The pp is me. I was referring to elementary students. Eureka math tickets are not to be graded. Exit tickets at secondary schools (which do not use eureka) may be graded- I don’t know, not my area. The OP is inquiring about 4th grade.
