It eases work & learning difficulties Makes the hard easier. Opens eyes.
Leads to greater precision.
in reading and
writing
Logic mastery makes the hard, easier. Logic mastery leads to better, stronger and richer comprehension. Logic mastery improves reading and writing. Logic mastery ease learning difficulties. Logic mastery gives a headstart. In sum, logic mastery will develops critical thinking, improve reading and writing, and give a firmer base for work and studies at many levels. Good luck.
After logic, (a) continue reading Three Skills for Algebra, chapters 8 to 14 and do so alongside site area on solving liinear Equations ; or (b) see this calculus starter lesson and Volume 3, Why Slopes & More Math, chapters 2 to 6;

What may be learnt and when depends on how skills and concepts are developed. Making the hard easier and clearer will allow earlier & richer development of skills and concepts.

Navigation with Arrows (Vectors)
If you pull a string or line taut between two points A and B in or on a plane, you get a straight line. On a flat lake or small sea, boats and ships try to go in straight lines. The edge of a ruler may also give a straight line. The concept of a taut or straight line may suggests the mathematical idea. or extrapolation.
On a map, a sequence of straight line motions may be used to precisely or approximately represent the path of an object (ship, plane or person) over land or sea. These motions and their directions may be represented by arrows with tail at the starting point of a motion and head at the other end or last point in that motion. Here is Motivation and a context for the use of arrows, or vectors, in navigation.
Directed line segments initial points and terminal points, or arrows or vectors with heads and tails may be used to describe or show straight line movements and the direction of motion
In the next figure, the path of the sailboat takes it from A to B, then B to D, then D to G, then G to C, then C to H and then H to M. Think of this as the head-to-tail map addition of movement or vectors.
Resultant or Sum of Movements (Vectors)
A straight line arrow from one point to another may summarize the movement of an object. The object itself may follow a curved path between the tail or initial point of the arrow and the head or terminal point. Similarly when a sequence of straight line motions is followed, one after another, the arrow joining the initial point of the first motion to the terminal point of the last motion summarizes or gives the sum or resultant of the intermediate motions. Here is a context and motivation for the head to tail addition of arrows or vectors in navigation.
The straight line path between the start and finish of a sequence of movements (shown as arrows on maps) is called their resultant or sum. The vector from A to M gives an example of a resultant, the net result of a sequence of motions. In this map-based example, the vector from A to M represents the top view of a path a bird could fly if does not represent a possible path of the boat. It could be the path if the land was not there -- raise the water level.
