Logic chapters 1 to 5 re- appear not in sequence, as is or longer, in Volume 1A, Pattern Based Reason, Bon Appetite.
Logic
Mastery
Amazing, Amusing, Amorous, Delicious, Delightful, Edifying,
Strengthening Elixir.
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.

First Varying Velocity Example
Problem: Graph the distance d to the origin of a path versus time t for the following journey of Harry Snail.
- At two o'clock in the afternoon, he is 50 km west of the origin, he travels further west at 100 km/hr. He drives at this speed for 1[1/2] hours.
- At half past three in the afternoon, he stops for one-half hour.
- He then drives eastward at 75 km/hr for the next two hours and then stops for another 2 hours.
Solution.
The trip has five segments. Comments on each segment or portion follow.
1. Before his trip begins, he could be stationary, that is, not moving. This possibility, a suspicion which cannot be confirmed, is represented by the horizontal dashed line. The slope of this speculative dashed line is

Footnote: When in doubt leave out, is a rule to follow in solutions of problems. Or, when in doubt say so, to show what is certain and what is not. Your credibility is at stake. Indicating precisely where you are guessing in a solution, identifies a question to be answered later by yourself or your instructor. And in marking assignments or tests, I would be less severe with mistakes explicitly identified as guesses than I would be with guesses deceptively presented as sure knowledge. Caution: Not all instructors will have this opinion.
2. The first described portion of the trip starts at the point A = (2 hrs,50km). He reaches the point B = ([3½] hr, 200km) after traveling at 100 kilometer per hour for one and a half hours. The slope of this portion of the trip m = 100[ km/hr] = 100 km per hour.
3. The second described portion of the trip lasts for one half hour. By remaining stopped (stationary) for [1/2] hour, his (t,d) coordinate changes from B = (3[1/2]hr,200km) to C = (4hr,200km). The slope or speed m here is again zero.
4. By traveling at 75 kilometers per hour back towards the origin for two hours, his position coordinates (t,d) change from C = (4hr,200km) to D = (6hr,50km). The slope

5. Finally, he does not move for 2 hours. This gives the last portion of the graph with d = 50km and slope m = 0.
