[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Algebra in 5th is not unusual in countries outside the US. Parents push their kids harder on math. The US is just behind. [/quote] That’s not entirely true. The Algebra 1 class covering up to graphing quadratics is taught in 8th grade in the country I was born in. There are some algebraic concepts taught earlier, but it’s not a real algebra class in 5th grade. Some algebra is taught in US in earlier grades as well, but the curriculum seems to be about one year behind, not four grades as the post implies. Given that a large portion of the students in US are accelerated, it sort of evens out.[/quote] They are saying four grades behind because algebra is a 9th grade class in the US curriculum. You get high school credit if you take it in 6th grade.[/quote]
