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.

On Learning Mathematics
Understand four things about learning math and science.
- Learning takes time and effort.
- Notes and work for doing problems must be written on paper and must be written precisely. Ideas or work written incorrectly will be a source of error later at the time of reading or further reasoning.
- Use of the electronic calculator for decimal computations does not provide the exact answers that are needed for derivations of formulas in algebra and beyond. For true understanding of concepts beyond arithmetic, students must be able to perform operations with fractions.
- To completely master a mathematical concept, one must be able to write calculations precisely and exactly on paper. In equations, formulas and calculations, letters and symbols need to located and used properly.
Errors of notation create misinterpretations which when read later on lead to misunderstanding or errors of further reasoning. The instructor's notation provides a model, an example to follow, in writing solutions to problems. Instructors need to demonstrate the proper use of notation at all times. Instructors need to test the copy skills of students, that is whether or not students can copy properly written mathematics at their level, accurately if not exactly.

Study With Others: twiddla.com has developed a collaborative whiteboard with audio & text chat that allows students, tutors & teachers to explore & scribble on blank pages and copies of webpages together, If scribbling is awkward with one browser, try another.
In Volume 2, Three Skills for Algebra, Chapters 8 to 14 and postscript What is a Variable point to a greater & clear use of words in algebra. Chapter 14 introduces a 4th skill for algebra, an elaboration of the third: - The direct and indirect use of formulas, numerically and algebraically, is unifying theme that should be mentioned aloud, with words, in each and every use of formula.
