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

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.

Mathematics Education from Inductive and Critical Path
Perspectives
what should be learnt, when, where, how, why
Children may be taught to provide opportunities or to provide
skills and knowledge that immediate family or society at large may want, value
or need. Parents and guardians may have a responsibility to educate their
children. Schools and teachers may hired or delegate to help and further define
or lead that responsibility. In some times and places, apprenticeships
were part of the early or late education of an individual. Today, in the more
fortunate parts of the world, schools and their teachers try to develop and
perfect skills and knowledge which require reading, writing, arithmetic and some
reason.
Children to the onset of puberty, between the terrible
twos and the terrible teens, appear to have the patience to sit down and be
schooled. Schooling can provide a solid base for further work and studies, and
for many kinds of citizenship (docile to thoughtful) for students who have or
find the will to sit down and study, or live a family in or society where the
latter is required. At the onset of puberty and their transformation
into young adults, teenagers try to become more independent, and with that need
to be given reasons for work and study. In societies, where teenage years
are a form of postponed adulthood, waiting for adulthood and adult-like
responsibility leaves time for reflection and mischief. Making education
compulsory and extending and extending the number of years spent in school for
the sake of education for general objectives that are not supported by
compelling needs or reasons is a source of alienation for teenager - leaves them
with the sense that education is a formality - a path to nowhere. Schools
and teachers are of little value to students who cannot be engaged or who cannot
be required to sit down and study with all the work and attention that
demands. For deliberate and effective skill and knowledge development or
perfection, compulsory school attendance needs to be accompanied by
coercion or by course design and materials which provide with values,
means and ends to inspire and guide students and teachers.
