They start school at 7, but I adjusted the grade level to match their american equivalent.  Actually, just like for the Indian poster above, both Algebra and Geometry starts in 4th grade, which would be 5th here. Algebra and Geometry are taught concurrently for the next 4 years, at which point some kids leave school to go to trade schools, and others continue with calculus. Chemistry/Physics/Biology is also taught concurrently from either 5th or 6th grade (I forget now which one) and is taught for at least 4 years straight.  And, unlike India, the attendance rate is 100% of the population.  This is your regular neighborhood public school. [/quote]

Why is the difference between teaching classes called "Algebra" and "Geometry" in fifth through ninth grade (or eighth?) and teaching classes called Math 5 (which includes algebra and geometry), Math 6 (which includes algebra and geometry), "Algebra", and "Geometry" during those same grades?

They teach more complex material, that's why. [/quote]
