Yeah, but if you're LEARNING about them, it isn't algerbra. Just like how we multiply fractions in equations-- just because you've learned to multiply fractions doesn't mean you are in algerbra yet. If you're learning about exquations, you aren't in algerbra.

What do you mean? I didn't quite get you. I am in Algebra 1, AP Math class for 7th graders and Exponents are a part of Algebra 1 in the book my school district uses. People in Algebra 2 also learn abut some equations, like I didn't know about 'y=mx + b' formula till know, and I don't know anything about the equation my teacher mentioned (that went over my low head). Something about having '0' in the denominator and still doing the problem, which wod be thought in high school in Algebra 2.

y = mx + b. Haha. Point-slope form. My most favorite. Wait until you do matrices! Those are so much fun! My fav part about Algebra 2. Ah, those good ole days.

AP math class?
Daaaamn, the west coast is way different then. You can't be in AP until 11th grade. Enriched, sure! Honors, sure! But it isn't considered advance placement.

I am looking forward to Algebra 2!
West Coast? I live there. Newport Beach, California. In my school, we call those classes Honors or Advanced Placement classes. In some places, Irvine for example, they call it G.A.T.E. but it's all the same thing, I think.
Edit* Or on a second thought, I am not very sure. We call it honors/Advanced, but in Virgina (my friend lives there) He is in 8th grade honors, but he is doing Algebra, when 8th honors in my school are doing geometry. But, as I said, we call it honors or advanced classes. The Algebra 1 book for honors 7th graders is same book as the one for regular 8th graders.

I see what's up. It's like my friend Megan. She's like, THE braniac. In seventh grade, the advance class was pre-algerbra, and the supah supah advance (megan) was algerbra. Then in eighth grade, the normal peoples went to pre-algerbra, the advance went to algerbra, and the supah supah advance went to Geomatry.
I got this, I got this.

Oh, then your school is probably the same way as my friend's in Virginia. In my school, regular 7th graders take Pre-Algebra and honors take Algebra 1. We have one regular class( Pre-Algebra) and one honors (Algebra 1) nothing in the middle.
