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 |

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 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.

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. |

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) |

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 learned a lot more back then than I do now!)) |

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