The 8 Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others.
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

HCMS Math Approach
Instructional Design Principles
•
•
Focuses on the Mathematical practices
Focuses on how students learn, think, and apply mathematics
Daily Lesson Approach
•
•
Lessons are structured to provide students with various opportunities to reason, to model and to expand
on explanations about mathematical ideas.
Within each lesson, questions, instructions and worked examples are interleaved to engage students as
they develop their own mathematical understanding.
HCMS Math Approach
Math Resources- Carnegie Learning
•
•
Instruction built for conceptual understanding and mastery
Contain meaningful math content to support a collaborative, student-centered classroom.

Curriculum Updates
• This year all science teachers will be incorporating
additional problem and inquiry based learning labs for
students. This includes a focus of integrating existing
science standards that build interest in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math.
• Students will no longer be required to create a science
fair project outside of the classroom. Instead, teachers
will focus on developing and exploring the scientific
method through classroom based activities and projects.
Science Club
2014-2015
This year all 7th and 8th Grade students will have
the opportunity to participate in a Science Club. The
focus of the Science Club will be the development of a
Science Fair Project. Students will have the opportunity
to create a science fair project and explore other topics
related to the field of science. The Science Club will
meet before and after school. Additional information
will be forthcoming.

Grading
Hickory Creek Middle School has adopted the
following guidelines for reporting grades for the
2014-15 school year.
75% = Summative
25% = Formative
• Use of PowerSchool
Outcome Assessments
• Will be given in ELA and Math on a quarterly
basis
• Determines how students perform in relation
to grade level expectations
• Necessary for teachers to help understand
what targets need to be addressed
• Communication tool between home and
school

Top Ten Tips
from former
Seventh Grade Families
10. Set expectations.
Realistically and specifically, guide your student with
academic growth goals.
Realistically and specifically, guide your student with
behavior goals.
9. Ask to see the
student planner.
This is a life skill that will pay off
now and for many years to come!
8. Have your student check
the
“Teacher Pages”.
Students can show and share this with you.
7. Check PowerSchool with
your student!
Seventh graders need to be the leaders in
their education…even if you need to give
them a little push to the front of the line.
6. Model!
Share your calendar and upcoming events
and obligations.
Explain your plan for accomplishing your
tasks.
5. Reflect.
Why was this
task/test/presentation
successful
OR
not so successful?
4. KISS!!!
(Keep It Simple and Short!!!)
We all know when we’ve goofed up, and
we usually know why.
“This action results in this consequence.”
3. Teach advocacy!
Everyone’s ultimate goal is for the student
to express what they need to be successful.
Have your student practice this with their
Air Force team teachers. We support
students who speak for their education!
2. Talk about school
everyday!
(“Tell me one thing you learned in
science, math, social studies, E.L.A.,
and Encore.”)
Share something you’ve learned today.
1. Celebrate!!!
Seventh grade is challenging!
Offer a pat on the back when
you know it is deserved.
