Algebra 1 Concepts
In Middle School Algebra 1, students develop their understanding of algebra by learning the skills needed to solve equations. They will get experience using numbers and variables and will become comfortable performing manipulations with equations and inequalities. The young teens will learn the core abstract concepts that make algebra what it is.
We believe Algebra is the most important and useful math subject to master before moving to more difficult high school classes. It is needed for computer science, physics, algebra ii, pre-calculus, and many other colleges and high school math classes.
Middle School Algebra introductory Topics
- Understand integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers.
- Translate word problems into mathematical equations and then solve for missing values.
- Get familar with strategies to simplify expressions.
- Understand union and intersection of sets.
- Graph and solve equations, inequalities, and systems of equations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Pre-Algebra and Algebra?
Pre-Algebra is an introductory course usually taught in middle school after arithmetic. It is typically taken in 7th grade or 8th grade. Pre-Algebra provides students with the basic foundation they need to be ready for the study of algebra. Students are introduced to basic algebraic concepts such as negative integers, roots and powers, and the idea of variable manipulation.
Algebra 1 is a common math course taught in late middle school and early high school. The focus of Algebra 1 is to help students build up conceptual and abstract understandings.
These understandings are necessary for future advanced math classes such as Trigonometry and Calculus. Students learn how to use variables and mathematical symbols to solve problems. They also are taught how to interpret and graph basic functions.
Is it advanced to take Algebra in the seventh grade?
Yes, at most schools, students either take 7th grade math or pre-algebra in 7th grade. Middle school students with strong math skills could begin learning Algebra 1 as soon as 7th grade. However, without some fundamental concepts from pre-algebra, it may be hard to grasp Algebra 1. If you are not comfortable solving an algebraic equation with variables, you should consider taking pre-algebra rather than algebra 1.
At what grade should children start learning Algebra?
The short answer is whenever they have mastered Pre-algebra topics. In the US, Algebra 1 is typically taught in 8th and 9th grade. Students tend to enroll in an Algebra 1 course during their freshman year in highschool. However, some high schools may offer Algebra 1 to sophomores as well.
In middle schools, Algebra 1 courses are generally offered to 8th graders. In some cases, schools will allow 7th grade students who are more advanced in math to take it as well.
What are some free online resources to study algebra?
Purplemath, Khan Academy, and IXL are three such websites that summarize each topic found in algebra and give a few practice problems to work on.
Where can I find an Algebra tutor near me?
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, there should be plenty of qualified tutors in your area. If you are looking for online lessons MathTowne is an excellent source for Algebra tutoring. If you live in the San Francisco South Bay Area we are also happy to provide in-person tutoring to you.
