Misconceptions
Stored on the entity so worksheets, quizzes and lesson plans all target the same known errors.
Students treat core rhythm as a rule to memorise rather than a relationship to understand.

Learners apply the correct method to core rhythm but ignore the context or units.
Correction — Require an answer sentence with units on every applied question.
