The guy next door, who I subbed for the day my car got hit in the parking lot, does the accelerated 8th grade math.
So, I'm guessing this is closer to general math with some exposure to algebra.
I know the kids in that other class were working on solving paired linear equations, and that day, two young ladies git moved into the accelerated class. While they were a little behind, they didn't act like I was speaking Klingon while I was explaining how to do these types of problems. So, they had to have seen algebra before.
In fact, when I was across the commons doing 7th grade, there was a touch of algebra in some of their problems, too.
