  • These are the points assigned to the new classwork in Google Classroom. When a student completes the worksheet, TeacherMade will scale the score when passing it to Google Classroom so it shows as you want in your grade book

► For Example: If the student scores 8 out of 10 points on the worksheet and the Google Classroom points is set to 100, the student's score in Google Classroom will be (8/10)x100 = 80 points
