  • Grade 6-Passport to Mathematics - Book 1
    This program bridges elementary math studies and prepares students with a solid foundation of mathematical concepts including fractions, ratios and proportions, decimals, percents, statistics, and graphs.  Students are also introduced to ideas found in geometry and algebra to prepare them for success in the next level of mathematics and on standardized tests.

    Grade 7-Passport to Mathematics - Book 2
    This course expands on the topics presented in Book 1 and explores more advanced concepts in data and statistics, integers, and probability.  Geometry in the plane and in space are introduced, as are probability and discrete mathematics.  Book 2 helps students bridge proportional reasoning to algebra, examine algebraic and geometric concepts more closely, and apply skills to solve more challenging problems.

    Grade 8-Passport to Algebra and Geometry
    Passport to Algebra and Geometry
    is the third and final text in the Passport series.  It builds on the fundamental middle school concepts covered in programs 1 and 2, while shifting the emphasis to essential concepts of algebra and geometry in preparation for Integrated I.  Number theory, rational numbers and percents, real numbers and inequalities, linear equations, congruence, similarity, and transformations are some of the topics covered.

    Grade 8- Integrated Mathematics
    This is the first book in a three-year course that includes the concepts and skills found in the Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II sequence.  The difference is in the organization of the content.  Instead of being divided into separate courses, algebra and geometry are taught in each of the three years.  In addition, topics from logical reasoning, measurement, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics, and functions are interwoven throughout each year.
