Is it normal in 4th grade for my teacher to give algebra homework?

yes...algebra is a very basic mathematical tool
like 2x+4=8
therefore x=2
They should learn it earlier b4 high school when it gets more and more difficult

I am a third and fourth grade teacher and I give my third graders algebra...the thing is, algebra is as simple as 2 + ? = 4. Yes, that is normal and enjoy it...your teacher is preparing you well for your life. My fourth graders do algbra as complicated as this: 4 x N + 2 = 10

i learned basic kind of algebra in 3rd and 4th grade. mostly like 5 + x = 10
or 5x + 2 = 12
stuff like that.

I guess it is. I didn't learn algebra until the 8th grade, but that was eons ago....back in the 1980's....learn it now so that it will be easier on you in high school.

yes if it's a problem like this:
3x equals y. If y=12, what does x equal?
That could be seen. Harder than that, your in 8th grade.

it depends on what kind of algebra.
if you mean long division, or problems like:
5 + __ = 9
then yes, because my sister is in third grade and she gets math papers like that.

it depends on how it is phrased and what method is used to answer the question.
