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 time 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 time 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.

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.
