Re-teach the core rule before moving on.
Teacher notes
- Use the recognition block as a two-minute entry ticket; it tells you who is ready for core rules of electricity.
- Anything below 8 marks means the application stage needs re-teaching, not more practice.
- Project the whole-class version and poll answers before revealing the explanation.
- Pair the results with the Core Rules of Electricity worksheet for targeted written practice.
Common student mistakes
- Confusing core rules of electricity with a neighbouring idea in electricity.
- Treating every idea in electricity as the same skill.
- Reaching for a rule that belongs elsewhere in electricity.
What to do next
- Score below 6: work the Easy quiz, then the practice worksheet.
- Score 6–11: retake as a Timed Quiz to build fluency.
- Score above 11: move to the Challenge Quiz or the next subtopic.
- Ask the AI Tutor to re-teach any question you got wrong twice.
