But students who take Algebra I in grade 8 and skip other math courses, such as grade 8 general math, might miss opportunities to develop the foundational knowledge and skills required for success in advanced math courses. This leaves educators to determine which students are ready for Algebra I in grade 8 and which are not. To inform strategies that address this challenge, this study examined whether student knowledge in five math domains in grade 7 was associated with Algebra I achievement in grade 8. It found that students’ scores in all five domains were associated with Algebra I achievement. The expressions and equations domain had the strongest association. The association between the number system domain and Algebra I achievement was stronger for English learner students than for non–English learner students. The associations between the five grade 7 domains and Algebra I achievement did not significantly differ for students who were receiving special education services and those who were not.  \nWhy this study?  \nIncreasing numbers of students are enrolling in Algebra I in middle school in order to take more advanced math courses in high school,1 including about 20 percent of grade 8 students in Missouri.2 But students who take Algebra I in grade 8 and skip other math courses, such as grade 8 general math, might miss opportunities to build the foundational knowledge and skills needed to perform well in Algebra I.3 To inform strategies that address this concern, the Regional Educational Laboratory Central—in partnership with the Missouri Department of  \n1.
