Teaching Path

Which topics are taught in which year, at which depth, and with what role. This is the table that generates a class schedule and a homework set: pick a course and a unit, and every slot below is a lesson to plan and a practice set to produce.

Mastery checkpoints
Reading a slot: the depth says which rung of the topic’s ladder this year covers; the role says what the year does with it; a ✓ checkpoint is the year the topic is expected to be signed off as mastered. Homework weight (1–5) drives how many practice minutes the generator allocates.
