How is the Math graded?

Students earn one of three letters to show their acheivement.  
An "S" stands 
for secure.  A child at the secure level is expected to quickly 
and 
consistently show a high level of ability with a concept or 
skill, without 
requiring help.  A "D" stands for developing.  A student at the 
developing 
level is expected to show a growing understanding of a concept or 
skill; 
however understandably, some teacher help may be required.  A "B" 
stands for 
beginning.  A student at the beginning level does not yet have a 
deep level 
of understanding of a skill or concept because it has just 
recently been 
introduced.  Each skill has a designated level of achievement.
