- jncfhnb 3y agoDepends on definitions mostly. You’ll likely start doing things like simple linear equations, including algebraic notation before formally doing “algebra 1”
- ip26 3y agoResounding agreement. I know kindergartners who can solve “z = x + y, solve for x” forms of problems, but some people call that “algebra”.
- jncfhnb 3y agoWhat I really mean is a lot of introduction to y = mx + b as a linear function
- zmgsabst 3y agoAlmost all of them can: “7 = [ ] + 3” where you write 4 in the box is a standard problem when learning to add, in nearly every workbook. We unteach that skill between early elementary school and middle school through poor pedagogy.
