Program your understanding
Learn anything by building a tiny program about it.
When a concept won't click, write a program about it. Turn a formula into a function. Draw what it does. Change the inputs and watch.
I made a graphing calculator in QB64 after meeting algebra and Desmos at 12. Building it taught me both the math and the code.
Try this: take one idea from school, define it as a function, and plot it in p5.js.
