Eighth grade (called Grade 8 in some regions) is a year of education in America and many other nations. The eighth grade is the eighth school year after kindergarten. Students are usually 13–14 years old. Traditionally, eighth grade was the final year of elementary school. In the United States and Canada, however, it is now usually the last part of middle school. The eighth grade mathematics curriculum in the United States as well as Canada includes either pre-algebra, Algebra I, or geometry. Occasionally Algebra II is also taught. In some schools, especially the ones that are witnessing the required Basic Standards Test, basic everyday math skills such as check writing, money management, and geometry are taught as well. International equivalents Many other countries use numerical levels for primary schooling. The U.S. eighth grade is equivalent to Canadian Grade 8 and German
