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,

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.

Chapter 10
Describing & Changing Calculations
Previous Chapter: 9 First Skill - How to
Talk or Describe Numbers and Quantities
Talking about Two More Skills
Besides identifying numbers and quantities or talking about them, we can also
describe and change calculations which include them or which say how to compute
them. Simple calculations can be described with words alone or with shorthand
notation. More complicated computations need the shorthand notation.
Manipulating, changing or massaging (term learnt from a fellow instructor in
1984) of calculations, is best done with shorthand notation. Any description of
a calculation with or without this shorthand notation gives what is called a
formula. There is more to mathematics than just doing arithmetic precisely.
Chapter Sections: [ 10 Formullas & Shorthand Notation ] [ 10 Changing Calculations ] [ 10. Replacement & Substitution ] [ 10 Find a Number ] [ 10 Formulas as Potential Calculations ]

for calculations
