Online Algebra 1 Course for Advanced Students Without Gaps in Understanding

The course is designed for students ages 10–14, generally in Grades 5–8, depending on ability and learning goals. It can suit advanced learners who have completed Pre-Algebra and want to begin Algebra I early. It can also support students who have encountered algebra at school but want a more systematic learning experience. Students preparing for AMC or other mathematics competitions may use the course to build algebraic tools and abstract problem-solving skills. A placement assessment helps determine the appropriate starting point for new students.

Students should have completed or currently be studying Pre-Algebra. ACE Academy Pre-Algebra A or B, or an equivalent-level course, is recommended before Algebra I. Students should understand arithmetic, fractions, ratios, equations, and mathematical operations at a foundational level. The placement assessment also covers areas such as geometry, equations and inequalities, analytic geometry, square roots, exponents, ratios, rates, unit conversion, percentages, counting, and probability. Students transferring directly from certain completed ACE Academy modules generally do not need to test again.

Each module lasts one semester and contains 18 lessons. Students meet once per week for a 90-minute live online lesson in a class of approximately 6–12 students. The session includes a five-minute warm-up, core instruction, differentiated practice, a short break or activity, additional examples, and a class summary. The complete process also includes pre-class preparation, homework, recorded homework explanations, teacher Q&A, assessments, and learning reports. Instruction, homework, and supplementary materials are provided in English.

Algebra I A begins with rules of operations, integer and fractional exponents, radicals, variables, expressions, linear equations, word problems, multiple variables, ratios, percentages, proportions, graphing, inequalities, factoring, and competition problems. Algebra I B continues with quadratic equations, squares of binomials, difference of squares, complex numbers, the quadratic formula, graphing quadratics, advanced inequalities, functions, exponents, logarithms, special functions, and sequences and series. The sequence includes both academic concepts and problem-solving applications. Midterm and final assessments are included in the course structure.

New students complete a placement assessment before enrollment. The supplied course information lists an Algebra I A placement test with 17 questions, a passing requirement of 85% or 14 correct answers, and a 40-minute time limit. It lists an Algebra I B placement test with 16 questions, a passing requirement of 60% or approximately 10–11 correct answers, and a 40-minute time limit. Existing students transferring from Pre-Algebra A or B, Algebra I A or B, or AMC 8 Basics generally do not need to test again. Families can contact the team if they need help understanding the appropriate assessment or course level.

The supplied company information shows sample math package pricing of 36 lessons for $999 and 72 lessons for $1,819. Those figures are presented as math pricing examples, so families should confirm the current Algebra I module price and package terms directly before enrolling. ACE Academy also promotes free trial classes and placement evaluations to help match students to the right level. The trial pathway begins through the Book a Free Trial link on this page.
