Misconceptions
Stored on the entity so worksheets, quizzes and lesson plans all target the same known errors.
Learners apply the correct method to solids but ignore the context or units.
Correction — Require an answer sentence with units on every applied question.
Confident students rush solids 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.
