Algebra I is a 9th grade course.

Answer by cabjr1961
Algebra is introduced in 8th grade and concentrated on in 9th

Answer by FlashGordon
Some kids in my school took it in 8th, they were the really smart ones. I took it in 9th.

I think some schools even allow some to take it in 7th grade now.

I am in eighth grade, and at my school, we have Pre-Algebra in seventh grade and a little Algebra in eighth.

Answer by Henry C
Depends where you’re studying. I started algebra in Year 7, however, it was more focussed in Year 9.

Can be both. pre-algebra is usualy in 8th

Answer by Cory aka Stottmeister
well some schools do algebra in 8th grade… but yeah the real fun begins in 9th grade. unless youre a child prodigy and youre in geometry 9th grade… but yeah its generally pre-algebra 8th grade, regular/honors algebra 9th grade. hope that helps.

8th

Answer by abbubaca
8th grade math teacher here. Algebra is anytime you are working with variables, like:

Solve for x, when x + 5 = 7

This can start in 6th grade and it is revisted in every other math class you take for the rest of your funtastic life as a student of math.

Answer by Conner D
I started it in 8th but that could just be my school. I’ve heard of it starting at grade 9.

I don’t know about other places, but here in my area it’s Algebra 1 in 8th grade, Geometry in 9th grade, and Algebra 2 in 10th grade, and then Pre-Calculus in 11th, then Calculus in 12th.

I’m 9th grade now and i’m in Honors Geometry in my school, and it requires some knowledge of Algebra 1. So, i don’t know if this applies to every school, but that’s the way it is in my school and every other school in my city. 🙂

Algebraic thinking and concepts are now introduced to many children as early as elementary school. The formal study of algebra (with slope, simultaneous equations, quadratics, factoring, FOILing) can begin as early as grade 6, depending on the curriculum, school district, and of course the student’s math skill level. The basic algebra I course is a 9th grade course, but many kids start it in middle school. In my district, we’ve started a two year algebra course beginning in grade 7, so the students start algebra II in grade 9. There are a few very advanced kids who begin the two year algebra program in grade 6. Those who don’t take the middle school two year programs take algebra I in one year, grade 9. In our district, most kids take geometry in grade 10, although some take it in grade 8.
