Learners apply the correct method to introducing scalar multiples but ignore the context or units.

Correction — Require an answer sentence with units on every applied question.

Confident students rush introducing scalar multiples and skip the checking step.

Correction — Build in an estimate-before-solve routine so an unreasonable answer stands out.
