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 apply the correct method to mixtures but ignore the context or units.
Correction — Require an answer sentence with units on every applied question.
Confident students rush mixtures and skip the checking step.
Correction — Build in an estimate-before-solve routine so an unreasonable answer stands out.
Curriculum alignment
Curricula, boards and countries are data — adding one never changes the architecture.

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.
