Logic
Mastery
Amazing, Amusing, Amorous, Delicious, Delightful,
Edifying, Strengthening Elixir.
It eases work & learning difficulties Makes the hard easier. Opens
eyes. Leads to greater precision.
in reading and writing
Do not leave here without it - Logic
mastery will develops critical thinking, improve reading and
writing, and give a firmer base for work and studies at many levels.
Good luck.

Key Skills and Concepts
- Logic
mastery is the key to better study skills, the key to enriching skills
and understanding, and the key easing or avoiding learning difficulties in
many arts and disciplines. That advice cannot be repeated too often. See the
first steps in Logic below
- Algebra
is hard for many. Words have been missing or unclear in the
description verbalization of skills and concepts. By learning to talk
about number and quantities, describe them with words, before and then
besides the shorthand roles of letters and symbols, we can more clearly
understand and explain the algebraic or mathematical way of writing and
reasoning. See the long essay What
is a variable and the Algebra
chapters 8 to 12..
- Formulas Forwards and Backwards: Chapter
14 employs the Compound
Interest formula directly and indirectly (forwards and backwards), and
compares arithmetic and algebraic ways for this. The pattern of first
learning a formula or method directly and then using it indirectly or
backwards is a key to algebra alone and in further subjects.
- Solving linear equations in one or two unknowns is
another key part of junior and high school mathematics. Explore
the site area Solving
Linear Equations with Stick Diagrams for an introduction and then come
back to Chapter 15 in
this Volume
- Skill Consolidation: See Arithmetic
Videos on Primes, LCD, GCD, Fractions, Square Rootsand
do some Arithmetic
Review Problems to check or perfect your figuring and fraction sense and
skills. On paper, high school mathematic programs state arithmetic mastery
is a must for algebra. In practice, many students rely on their calculators
and so sabotage or delay their own education in mathematics. Every
student should know the sum and Times
table for all pairs of whole numbers 0 to 12. In a spare moment or
two, practice filling in these tables by repeated addition.

Altogether, the logic chapters provide a unique
mathematics-free introduction to the direct and indirect definition and
rule-based thinking that appeared in Euclid's work a long time ago (2300 years
ago)

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.
