I am a parent of a 6th grader and my kid's school (in SF East Bay) uses this book as textbook of the honor class for 6th graders. From a parent's point of view, this is absolutely a 5-star textbook. Contents are well organized to units that are easy to learn and review. Each unit is presented with important concepts then core skills are demonstrated using three to four examples with very neccessary hints and detailed steps. Exercises and Study Guide(reviews) and chapter tests all are properly chosen. Just let your child to study the pages of "Study Guide" and complete the review exercises after each chapter your child will be well prepared for school chapter tests. At the beginning of the book also presents California Content Standards for 7th Grade and Countdown to Mastery for you/your kids' reference, which are very helpful for parents/students to check their mastery of key contents prior to the state' yearly standard test. BTW, I used to live in another school district of SF East Bay and they use Harcourt textbooks, which all the parents that I met think it's REALLY a nightmare, especially Math.
