I think that most schools offer it to freshmens. The school I went offered it at both freshmen and eighth grade if you tested out of regular eighth grade math. Algebraic concepts are taught as early as Grade K. Algebra as a subject in other countries is taught in late elementary school along with basic computations. In Ohio (where I live now) Algebra as a class is taught as early as 7th grade for high school credit to students who have the ability. In the United States, the most common grade to begin Algebra as a class is grade 9. However, when should it be taught is as soon as a student is able to grasp the material. Most students understand basic algebra concepts (properties like 2 + 3 is the same as 3 + 2, OR if 1 + 2 = 3 and 0 + 3 = 3, then 1 + 2 = 0 + 3 OR that a variable is the same as the blank space they've been filling in all along, 4 x ___ = 20 is the same as 4b = 20) as early as they begin computations. If these concepts are introduced correctly, basic algebra class becomes very simple for middle school students.
