Confident students rush scalar multiples in context and skip the checking step.

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

Learners over-generalise a special case of scalar multiples in context to every situation.

Correction — Present a deliberate non-example and ask why the rule fails.
