Scratch
Scratch is a major domain within Programming, grouping the strands that share the same underlying ideas and methods.
Entity profile
Every node stores the same attribute set, which is why the hierarchy can grow without new templates.

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.
Learners over-generalise a special case of scratch to every situation.
Correction — Present a deliberate non-example and ask why the rule fails.
Students treat scratch 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.
Curriculum alignment
Curricula, boards and countries are data — adding one never changes the architecture.

What comes next
Curriculum order is an edge in the graph, so every entity knows the step that follows it.
Difficulty ladder
The same entity, six levels of demand — easy through to olympiad and exam level.
Scaffolded first attempt with worked support.
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.
Audience views
Scratch in Grade 2, surfaced differently for each reader.
