-/[]\- Logic chapters 1 to 5 re- appear not in sequence, as is or longer, in Volume 1A, Pattern Based Reason, Bon Appetite. Logic
Mastery 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. Try the Twiddla
Whiteboard. In principle, it allows
to people to draw and chat together online on a copy of this webpage or a clean
sheet. The chat may be via text or audio. Visit www.twiddla.com

Who is in ChargeTrust But VerifyIf your teen or child brings home a mathematics textbook, show it to a neighbor or relative who has done well in college level calculus or beyond. We hope that the textbook will be well-written and clear. If the textbook is not clear and direct enough for self-instruction, instructors who are mathphobics or not expert in mathematics to the level of calculus will have difficulty in teaching from the text as well.
If you know how to help your son or daughter master a subject, do so, or a least identify the key skills and concepts, and say they have to be mastered sooner or later. Insist on a mastery of addition and times table for all pairs of numbers 0 to 12, and mastery of efficient ways to add and multiply fractions. Good luck. If you child or teen is taught by an instructor who does not want you as a parent to give your son or daughter extra instruction so he or she knows more, I recommend you ignore the teacher's request or you give the extra instruction in the summer. Remember that many primary and high school givers of mathematics lessons may be mathphobic or less than knowledgeable in mathematics than yourself. Moreover, school teachers are transient elements of your child or teen's life, important or more important than your for a school year or two. Parents and guardians are the first teachers and the longest term teachers of a child for better or worse. And if your standards are higher than those of the school or school teacher, emphasize them gently and diplomatically with your child. |
