There's a big range. Depending on what school you go to (or will be going to) it can go from 5th grade to 8th grade. I had a little bit of pre algebra when I was in 5th grade, and if you're really smart you can qualify for a test to see if you can take pre algebra in 6th grade. It just depends on how smart you are really. *please note that even if you are smart enough to qualify it still depends on your countys policy

Where I live in Florida, a gifted honors class would learn in 8th grade, a regular honors class would learn in 8th grade(like myself), and normally you would learn Algebra 1 in 9th grade. I live in Maine, but I just moved from New Jersey. In both places, normally, kids would do Algebra 1 in 8th grade. If they aren't too good at math, then they would do it in 9th grade, and if they are advanced, then they would do it in 7th grade. Where I live in Cali, most of our students in my school in 8th grade would learn algebra 1 and others will learn pre-algebra. This year in Cali, every 8th grade levels from other schools would take Algebra 1. So it used to be 9th graders who would learn Algebra 1. Our percentage results were pretty high compared to other schools who took it. Where i live in Pennsylvania, we do algebra 1 in 8th grade A class, pre-algebra in 8th B class, Algebra 1 in 8th Independent class (which is like the highest you can get into), finish Algebra 1 in 8th A class, and finish pre-algebra in 8th B class. I was in the 7th grade A class and the 8th grade Independent class, cause I was a freakin' genius and got straight A's every trimester of every grade. I go to a private school, and most private school classes are naturally ahead of the public school systems'. In 7th grade, I took Pre-Algebra and now as I'm in eighth grade I take Algebra 1 and 2 and have a test every other week. But usually, as said before, Algebra 1 is normally taken by ninth grade students in public school =) The order in middle school through high school... that i know of in Maryland... is math 6, math 7, pre-alebra, algebra 1, honers geometry, algebra 2, and so on. You can also be advanced, when I was in 8th grade, I took Algebra 1, and my friend took honers geometry, but usually you learn Algebra is learned in 9th grade. at my school everyone does pre-algebra in 7th grade algebra 1 in 8th geometry in 9th and algebra 2 in 10th I'm taking algebra 1 right now, and I'm in the 8th grade. i think I'm in an advanced math class tho, and at this place, most people take it 9th grade.
Pre-Algebra is a class that allows you to practice basic algebraic functions and provides a second year to learn the skills.
Since "pre-" means before, then pre-algebra would be before algebra. Conversely, algebra would be after pre-algebra. Generally, the next class after a pre-algebra class would be Algebra I, followed by Algebra II.
Pre-algebra preps you for algebra.2nd answer:Pre-AP-algebra is the same as Algebra I. Both are way harder than pre- algebra.
It depends which class u r in in some schools if u r in 7th grade and take pre-algebra it is considered advanced but in other schools it you are rite on track.
