<p>“Other countries don’t completely cover Algebra 1 by the end of 8th grade. Topics like parabolas, hyperbolas, quadratic equations are covered in 9th grade.”</p>
<p>They dont break it down by algebra I, geometry, Algebra II and precalc. Some of it is taught every year until a big board exam in 10th grade. I was speaking to someone recently who used to be a teacher in South Africa 20-30 years ago and moved here. In south Africa this person taught algebra 1, 2, and trigonometry in same year but had to pick one to teach here.</p>
