Is this in the wrong spot?

This might be in the wrong place, it requires knowledge of things not yet covered on this track.

Hi Eric,

I gather that you're in the https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/full-stack-foundations track.

These things look like they were presented in the first stage of the course. Math was in the second video; variables, input and output were primarily in steps three and five; let and const were in the instruction before the last challenge.

This seems well-placed to me, but they may be a bit of a challenge (as they should be). You may want to go back and review those steps in the last stage as you work through this instruction.

Best wishes.

Functions, objects, conditionals, and loops were not covered before these challenges in javascript. It wasn't a problem to piece it together, especially since I was familiar with these concepts from the python intro, but it still seems to me like it's placed earlier than intended. I may still be mistaken though.

We were never taught about HTML // 1. Attach this file -- math.js -- to the index.html file using a <script> tag This should be covered before giving the challenge!

This is off putting for someone trying to learn the full stack courseware. As Namdy says above it wants requires you to attach .js files to the index.html but we've not been showed this at all at any point yet.
