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.

An Educational Inconsistency
Most arts, trades, professions and discipline in the work place and in
college or university studies demand and prize the careful mastery of rules and
patterns, one at a time, one after another, alone or in combination. Adult
and college education says directly what should be learnt while in
contrast, Youth education may say so indirectly. Youth
educational theories which say dismiss or discourage mastery of rule
and patterns at the primary and secondary school level in a repeatable and
reproducible manner do not prepare students for the workplace survival nor
higher level instruction in quantitative disciplines: mathematics, science,
engineering, construction, accounting. etc.
