I'm American, I definitely learned this stuff in 7th or 8th grade. Granted, I didn't use it past high school, and I forgot it before I finished college, but that's definitely when I learned it.

Bro I’m American and they didn’t even mention algebra until 9th grade, the fuck you mean quadratics in middle school

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Math is personalized in American schools. There's on grade, advanced, gt, and accelerated. Each level above on grade is how many years ahead your class math is. Depending on how large your school is, gt and accelerated math students will take math with the grades above them.

On grade would be quadratic in 9th.

Yeah....I am american and almost done with my associates degree....and I still haven't learned "quadraitcs" idk, standards are wired

It's Algebra 2. I just checked and only 6 states require it. Crazy. I was in a state that didn't require it but finished Calculus 2 at graduation.

Ahh...okay, so far I've done pre-algebra, Diploma didn't require it and associates degree looks like it doesn't either, Bachelors will.....probably.
