There is an official Rasbrian package for Sage, sagemath, it gives you Sage 8.6.

I suppose it's the result of semi-automatic import of Debian Buster
into Rasbrian.

I did

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install sagemath

and after a long download, I could do

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sage
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SageMath version 8.6, Release Date: 2019-01-15                     │
│ Using Python 2.7.16. Type "help()" for help.                       │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Setting permissions of DOT_SAGE directory so only you can read and write it.
sage:
Exiting Sage (CPU time 0m0.12s, Wall time 0m9.49s).


Naturally one wants newer versions, but still this is a start.
