Misconceptions
Stored on the entity so worksheets, quizzes and lesson plans all target the same known errors.
Learners over-generalise a special case of operator precedence to every situation.
Correction — Present a deliberate non-example and ask why the rule fails.
Students treat operator precedence 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.

Curricula, boards and countries are data — adding one never changes the architecture.
