  Case: kindergarten grades
We are now required to give number grades in kindergarten. What are some age-appropriate ways to assess and give number grades to kindergarteners?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, I want to say I find it crazy that number grades are going to be assigned in Kindergarten and not at all developmentally appropriate! Using a rubric will probably be the best way to determine a grade. You could give a range of what will earn an 90-100 and so on. Also, if you're grading something like a worksheet, you could do a fraction and find the equal percentage. Say they got 4/5 questions right on a patterning activity, then that would translate to an 80.
