-/[]\- 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

2.1 Use of the Equal SignHere are a few words about the equal sign. The equal sign = is used to say or suggest the following.
Here the first equation or equality holds (meaning is true) since both 4+5 and 7+2 are expressions giving the value 9. The second equation r2 = r·r always holds, no matter what value you give to r. It tells us how to compute the number or quantity described by the expression r2. The third equation 3x+1 = x+7 holds (is true) when and only when x = 2. When x has a value other than 2, the statement (suggestion or assertion) that 3x+1 gives the same result as x+7 is false. The fourth statement x+4 = x+6 is always false. No value given to (or substituted for) x will make this statement true. Adding 4 and adding 6 to the same number give different results, no matter what the number is. Abuse of Equal SignThe solution of the equation
is given x =3. But is an error, a mistake, a major misuse of the equal sign to insert an = 3 besides the x in the above equation to obtain
in place of writing x = 3. While a person who writes x = 3 may mean x = 3, the expression x = 3 actually means a third of x is 3.

Site books and further webpages on learning and teaching mathematics and pattern based reason may develop critical thinking, improve reading and writing, and give a base for learning or teaching high school and college mathematics. Great_Expectations: If you can learn to follow a multi-step methods in any subject precisely, you can do so in other subjects, as well. Good news: Site pages identify what you need to study. Bad news: Site pages do not explain everything Worse news: Learning takes time, yours
