Grading on a curve means that grading is done according to the scores students get on a given assignment or test, versus grading on a fixed scale of 90-100 being and A, 80-90 being a B, etc. (or whatever scale is being used).
Grading on a curve is sometimes used by teachers when a whole class does poorly on a test. Here is an example:
In a class of 5 students, the scores were 76, 76, 70, 65, and 53. In this case, the grades would be C, C, C, D, F. The teacher could grade on a curve and give the 76s an A, 70 a B, 65 a C, and 53 a D.

What is a 10 point grading scale?
With a 10 point grading scale the results (of a test etc.) are given a value between 0 and 9 or 1 and 10. If the grading is "on a curve" than the distribution of the various grades is spread on a Gaussian normal distribution.

What does it mean to grade on a curve?
"Grading on a curve" refers to a method of assigning grades that achieves a predetermined statistical distribution, regardless of the absolute level of performance. "The curve" refers to the Normal Distribution curve, which is the usual distribution of test scores in practice. For example, giving the top 10% of the class A's, even if no one gets more than half of the exam credit, or failing the bottom 20% of the class, even if everyone scores above 90%. An advantage of grading on the curve is that it tends to eliminate bias in grades caused by the difficulty of the material or the quality of the instruction. It has the disadvantage that it does not reflect student mastery in absolute terms. It also discourages students from assisting each other with learning the subject.
