Well, I'm just wondering - cause I'm in 6th grade prealgebra and i'm going to algebra next year..and just wanted to know if it was anything unusual =\

People normally don't start algebra until 8th grade. I'm in 7th grade Pre-AP (Advanced Placement) math which is the same material as Academic (regular classes) in the following grade, so I'm learning algebra, but it's not for the whole year. There was a 6 week period on algebra, but that was pretty much it (and we applied it here and there in other units afterward).

Well, there's nothing wrong with taking algebra in 7th grade. If anything it'd be to your benefit 'cause you'll always be a step ahead.

I took it in 8th, and that was early for here, but it's not all that abnormal. Georgia just sucks.

We don't exactly have preAP classes, either..

I took algebra 1 in 7th grade. Some students from my school took it in 6th grade.
No worry, that means you are a brighter student who can take clases ahead of others! =D

Yeah I'm pretty sure I had algebra in grade 7...wow that was a long time ago.

Wow..I didn't take algebra until my freshman year in high school..

im taking algebra now.. and i'm in 9th grade...
i feel stupid now...

Here, we don't have separate math courses like algebra and geometry, it's just Math 8, Math 9, and some honours classes.

Grade 7 for me was elementary school, where it was even less specific. I'm pretty sure we didn't learn anything about algebra in grade 7, but we definitely had a solid section on it in Math 8 in high school.

I began taking algerbra in the 7th grade.

I took Algebra in 8th grade. I wish I took it in 6th...7th grade math was so pointless. We stayed on y=mx+b for about 3 weeks. Not much to learn there. Ugh.

Yeah, I'm a math junkie.

^ Craziness. We learned y=mx+b and all that stuff about linear equations in 10th grade.

^^Really? My teacher told me we might work on that stuff after spring break...........................................................................
.......

I learned it algebra 1, so it can go away now; I'd prefer to be through with it.

But to be fair, my 7th grade math teacher didn't teach, so there's really no telling what we were supposed to learn.

i had pre algebra 5th grade and took algebra 1, 2, 3 in 6, 7, and 8th grades. its harder than regular math but much easier than geometry. just make sure you pay attention in class and ask questions if you need to.

^^i learned y=mx+b 7th grade. it could be because of your school district. different school districs have different rules about how and when to teach their subjects.

I took it in 7th. You either like Algebra or Geo, its pretty rare to like both.

Well yes, obviously. We don't even offer algebra 3, and I took geometry before algebra 2.

It was definitely geometry > algebra, for me. I can't do algebra or precal (a lot of which is algebra) worth anything.

I took algebra in 8th, the earlier the better though, cause then you get a head start in high school and you get to take all the awesome advanced level math classes that otherwise you'd have to take summer math classes to get to =)
I always felt a little jealous of the few people who got to take algebra in 7th, they're gonna get to learn so much more than me (i'm a senior in calculus, but the juniors in my class are gonna get to take higher-level math next year, the top level that i won't be able to get to.. boo)

you make me a teensy bit nauseated.

I took Algebra 1 in 8th grade. And that's not normal. TUuur. Algebra 1 is a freshman class.

My math career (as planned):
Algebra 1 - 8th
Geometry - 9th
Algebra 2 & Trig - 10th
Calc 1 - 11th
Calc 2 - 12th

Mhm.

I had Pre-Algebra in the 7th Grade...

I took Pre-Algebra in the 7th grade with an advanced class.
((I learned a lot more back then than I do now!))

algebra's not hard.

i did algebra in 4th grade

You have almost the same thing as me...at least in the beginning

Algebra 1 (gifted)- 8th
Geometry (honors)- 9th
Algebra 2 (honors)- 10th
Precal/trig (honors)- 11th
AP calculus AB- 12th

Most people take algebra in 9th and then differ from there. I think we have more math tracks than anything else; it gets pretty confusing, but I'm pretty much taking the most advanced classes I can, just not in the highest levels offered after algebra 1 because I was so bad at it.

bullshit. a 4th grader can't even figure out 4x-5=11. Shit. And that's like the easiest thing in pre-algebra.

let alone a third grader doing pre-algebra.

lol im j/w, why didn't/don't you take cal BC? want to take it easy senior year?

i took BC cause it looks better on a college app >_> groar. lol but yeah.. its fun. quite fun, in fact, with a lot of learning involved as well i suppose. you should definitely consider taking cal BC if you're not a senior already =) if you are, then nvm lol.

My math schedule:
Algebra 1- 7th
Geometry- 8th
Algebra 2- 9th
Pre-Calc/Trig Honors (this course includes the A portion of Calc AB)- 10th
AP Calc BC- 11th
AP Stats- 12th

The earlier to take algebra 1, the more AP classes you will get. :)

OH MY GOSH!!! I loved my algebra class in 7th grade best class EVER!! We had all the crazy people ^-^ an they would do the craziest shit ever. It was NEver boring...

Oh... and I thought it was really easy. Got an A, although more than half the class failed. *tsk**tsk*

=] lol

good luck though!

Took Pre-Algebra in 8th and I'm taking Algebra 1 this year. Next year I take Algebra 2 but apparently we're learning almost everything we're learning this year. What's the point?

o i mite take algebra in 7th grade except during the summer i have to pass this math credit by exam thing.......
and if i pass then i get to take algebra in 7th grade

i never knew there was an algebra 3

i feel really stupid now, i had algebra 1 in freshmen year

9th - algebra
10th - geometry
11th - algebra II
summerschool possibly - precalc
12th - calc

yeah i have algebra in 7th grade. During 7th grade i did half of the course. And now in 8th grade im finishing it [Math A]. If i pass this year's math class i get to take the REGENTS exam this year, so i wont have to take it in highschool. But i don't think im taking it >_>
i've been failing all of my math tests. -_____-

My math schedule:
Algebra 1- 7th
Geometry- 8th
Algebra 2/Trig - 9th
FAG [functions analytical geo.] -10th
AP Computer Science - 11th.
I dunno what I`m takin senior year.

Isnt it, Pre-Algebra THEN Intro-Algebra THEN Algebra?
I mean, there's a difference between the Pre and the Intro in our district.
Im in intro, though. 1 grade advanced.

Haha, FAG :D

Anyway, my track:

7th- Algebra 1
8th- Geometry
9th- Algebra 2
10th- Pre-Calculus
11th- AP Calc BC
12th- Something called "IB Math Higher Level II"

Some of my friends took AP Calc BC in freshman year.. pretty hardcore math junkies.

I have Algebra and I'm in 7th. I got placed in Pre-Algebra, but I re-took it, and got put in Algebra. Geometry next, chyeah.

um in 7th grade you either took like regular math or you were in pre-algebra. then in 8th grade you had a choice of algebra 1A (where you took the 2nd half of the course algebra 1B in 9th grade) or algebra 1 (A&B in one year) or you were stupid and got put in lab.

so its like this (for me anyway)

7th: pre algebra
8th: algebra 1A (i got accepted to be in alg 1 but i didnt think i could do it)
9th: algebra 1B
10th: stupid effing geometry

I'm in 7th grade and I'm taking Pre-Algebra. So I start Algebra next year, in 8th grade.

I had pre-alg in seventh grade.

i took algebra in 8th. that was advanced for my school. my sucky school.

i had pre algebra in 7th grade. and then algebra part 1 in 8th grade- but i practically like failed it though. i'm in grade 10 now and taking geometry- which i am failing.

i hate math x(

:O~

algebra - 7
geometry - 8
ownage - 9 10 11 12

Block sched. RULE!

9th algebra & geometry
10th Adv. algebra & pre calc
11th Calc and Discreate math & tech

I took pre-algebra in 7th grade.
summer before 8th: algebra 1 hons.
8th grade: algebra 2/trig hns.
9th: geometry hns.

i'm currently an 8th grader.

nope, but i THINK i just did a unit on pre algebra ahhhhhhidk wtf it was, somethin' like

I = PRT

just simple formulas.. is that even pre algebra? whatever, i wouldn't worry about it
if you're being put in algebra early, that just means youre smart!

beginning algebra - 5th grade
algebra 1- 6th grade
algebra 2- 7th grade
algebra 3- 8th grade
continuing algebra or regular/honors geometry-freshman
regular/honors geometry or regular/honors algebra 2-sophmore
regular/honors algebra 2 or pre cal & trig-junior
pre cal & trig Or calculus(sp) ab/bc or something like that-senior

Yes, I took it in 7th grade, but it was unusual. Everyone in my grade took PreAlgebra and I took Algebra I with the 8th graders.

i think i had.. alg. in 8th?

Yup normal

Yeah I took it in 7th grade, it was the highest placement for our school district. Then I took Geometry in 8th, Algebra II freshman year, and next year I'm taking Pre-Calc.
