What age is ninth grade? We were doing Algebra by eleven.
- darth_avocado 5y agoThe difference between education across the world and USA is that you treat algebra as one subject and therefore don't do it every year. In India, you had to do algebra starting grade 6 all the way to grade 12. The more complex the theory, the later you learn it. Makes sense to have that kind of gradual learning imho.
- friedman23 5y agoI think around 13 years old.
- mardifoufs 5y agoThat's pretty much when we actually start algebra here in quebec. Agreed that it's a bit late though.
- mlex 5y agoIn Canada, ninth grade was around 14-15 years old, depending on the month you were born. I think the US has a similar timescale for primary/secondary schooling.
- ng12 5y agoYup, 14-15. It's freshman year of highschool in the US.
- ksd482 5y agoSo was I. I was introduced to it in 7th grade (India) and I was 12~13. Edit: fixed age range
- chefandy 5y agoIn a US public school, I was doing very basic algebra— math with variables— in 6th grade, which is around age 11. The class called 'Algebra' in the US school system, which this article references, is a subset of what Algebra actually is on a whole. Very basic algebra before high school (which starts at grade 9, or age 14/15) is often called pre-algebra.
