Matrices
Matrices is a major domain within Math, grouping the strands that share the same underlying ideas and methods.
Entity profile
Every node stores the same attribute set, which is why the hierarchy can grow without new templates.

Semantic relationships
Prerequisite and related edges are what make this a graph rather than a menu.
Misconceptions
Stored on the entity so worksheets, quizzes and lesson plans all target the same known errors.
Students treat matrices as a rule to memorise rather than a relationship to understand.
Correction — Anchor the rule in a visual model first, then abstract it — the model is the explanation.
Learners apply the correct method to matrices but ignore the context or units.
Correction — Require an answer sentence with units on every applied question.
Curriculum alignment
Curricula, boards and countries are data — adding one never changes the architecture.

Curriculum order is an edge in the graph, so every entity knows the step that follows it.
Difficulty ladder
The same entity, six levels of demand — easy through to olympiad and exam level.
Scaffolded first attempt with worked support.
Standard curriculum demand, unscaffolded.
Multi-step questions and unfamiliar contexts.
Stretch tasks that need reasoning, not recall.
Competition-style problems built on the same idea.
Board-styled questions with mark schemes.
Learning intent
Not every visitor wants the same thing. Each intent routes to the resource that actually does that job.
