A comment on San Francisco schools banned kids from taking algebra in 8th grade. Parent comment
“Basic Algebra” is what we call 7th-8th grade (age 11-13) math.
“Simultaneous and quadratic equations” is what we call Algebra which is 9th grade (age 14-15) with logs and exponentials thrown in.
Most places do a split year of Geometry and Trig in 10th grade.
Single variable calculus and first order blah blah is Calc 1 for 11th graders.
Volumes, vectors, integrals, infinite series, taylor expansions is Calc 2 for 12th graders.
