Passport to Mathematics - Honors Math uses Passport to Mathematics by Larson, Boswell, Kanold, and Stiff.  The book covers many topics such as number relations and fractions, fractions and their operations, algebra and integers, ratios, proportions, percents, decimals, geometry, probability, equations and functions.  At the back of the book, there are various tools to help your student be successful in math such as, selected answers, tables, glossary, symbols, geometric formulas, and the index.

Connected Math - Connected Mathematics is comprised of several student booklets. Each workbook organizes around an important mathematical idea. Connected Mathematics develops content from five mathematical strands: numbers and operations, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability, and algebra. Students will be exposed to problems that are real-world or whimsical situations, and other problems will be purely mathematical.

Calculators 

Calculators are a tool and are used as such when appropriate.  Many units in 6th grade are computation units and therefore calculators are not allowed.  There are certain problem solving units and formula building units where calculators are allowed.
