The Practice Dock is the guided practice surface for weeks that are already conceptually clear.
It should help a learner move from "I know the theory" to "I can solve under time pressure."
What it should do
- present one question at a time
- let the learner ask for hints in layers
- break a question into topic, method, trap, and answer shape
- compare a fresh attempt with the final solution
- record weak areas for replay later
Hint ladder
Use a stepped system:
- Nudge: point to the topic and the first decision
- Strategy: show the method family
- Trap: call out the common mistake
- Skeleton: show the answer structure
- Full solution: only when the learner is done trying
Question dissection fields
- What is being asked?
- What topic family does this belong to?
- What is the shortest valid method?
- What is the likely trap?
- What should the final answer look like?
Good uses
- maths derivations and formula selection
- python syntax traps and data flow
- english grammar decisions and rewrite tasks
- assignment recap before exam practice
Output rule
Keep the dock compact.
If the question needs many panels, split by concept instead of cluttering the whole surface.
