How your teen is assessed
Learning is assessed using a variety of tools and strategies within the classroom.
Ask the teacher what methods they are using. The different assessment methods
tell you, your teen and your teen’s teacher about your teen’s strengths, the
areas in which they might grow and how well they are doing throughout a course.
At the end of the course, your teen will be assessed and their achievement
will be reported so that you know if they have achieved the expected learning
outcomes for the course.
At the end of Mathematics 30-1 or Mathematics 30-2, your teen will
write a provincial diploma examination. There are three main purposes for the
diploma examination:
- to certify the level of individual student achievement in the course
- to
ensure that province-wide standards of achievement are maintained
- to report
individual and group results.
Your teen’s final mark in Mathematics 30-1 or Mathematics 30-2 is determined by taking 70% of the school-awarded mark and adding
it to 30% of the diploma examination mark. Your teen must achieve a final
mark of 50% or higher to obtain credits for the course. General and course-specific diploma examination information is available to help you and your teen.
