Z0–Z3 Directory Table: Skills → Failure Modes → Sensors → Repairs (Almost-Code v1.1)
Publishing role: This is the signature “power” page for EduKateSG.
A-Math is the Sec2→Sec3 abstraction jump gate: if students survive it cleanly, O-Level outcomes become predictable.

SYSTEM: Education OSSUBJECT MODULE: SGP Secondary A-Math OSSUBJECT_ID: SGP-SEC-AMATHYEARS: Sec3–Sec4PRIMARY VERIFICATION GATE: - O-Level OS (Singapore)SECONDARY PORTS: - SGP Secondary E-Math OS (prerequisite spine) - Singapore City Education OS (SGP-SIN)REFERENCE: CivOS (P0–P3, Z0–Z7)PRIMARY PURPOSE: Convert abstraction + algebraic manipulation + multi-step reasoning into stable exam performance by: - stabilising the Sec2→Sec3 jump (GR12) - reducing chain-break probability in long solutions - enforcing transfer across unfamiliar forms - achieving timed reliability with low volatility (P3)
1) P3 Mastery Definition (Secondary A-Math)
P3 (SGP SEC A-MATH): The student can: - retrieve core methods without cues (P-S1) - manipulate algebra and functions reliably (algebra is stable substrate) - sustain long chains without breaking (chain stability) - select methods correctly under ambiguity (tool selection) - transfer across unfamiliar forms/wrappers (P-S4) - execute under time with low volatility (P-S5) - recover after mistakes using a recovery protocol (GR4)
V1.1 note: A-Math mastery is not “knows formulas.” It is low chain-break rate under time + novelty.
2) Z0–Z3 Directory (Core Table)
How to read this table
- Z0 Skills = execution primitives and reasoning operations
- Z1 Failure Modes = what breaks in tests/exams
- Z2 Sensors = early detection instrumentation
- Z3 Repairs = loops that fix the failure reliably
Z0–Z3 Directory Table (A-Math)
Z0: Skills (Execution Primitives)
Z0 SKILL DIRECTORY (A-MATH):AM-Z0-01: Algebra substrate (expand/factor/rearrange with stability)AM-Z0-02: Functions as objects (domain/range, transforms, composition)AM-Z0-03: Quadratics mastery (forms, graphs, roots, inequality regions)AM-Z0-04: Indices/surds/logs (symbol hygiene + transformation rules)AM-Z0-05: Trigonometry (identities + solving + interpretation)AM-Z0-06: Coordinate geometry (lines/circles, modelling geometry algebraically)AM-Z0-07: Differentiation (rules + meaning + applications)AM-Z0-08: Integration (reverse rules + area/accumulation meaning)AM-Z0-09: Modelling workflow (translate → choose tool → solve → interpret)AM-Z0-10: Multi-step chain stability (10–20 step solutions without break)AM-Z0-11: Method selection on mixed papers (choose correct pathway fast)AM-Z0-12: Checking discipline (domain/units/roots validity + alternative checks)AM-Z0-13: Timed endurance stability (late-paper accuracy does not collapse)
Z1: Top Failure Modes (what breaks)
Z1 FAILURE MODE DIRECTORY (A-MATH):AM-Z1-01: Sec2→Sec3 abstraction jump collapse (GF5 signature)AM-Z1-02: Algebra substrate instability → cascading errors (GF5 precursor)AM-Z1-03: “Formula hunting” without model (GF2) → wrong methodAM-Z1-04: Chain-break instability (multi-step collapse mid-solution)AM-Z1-05: Wrapper sensitivity (same concept, new form) (GF9)AM-Z1-06: Mixed-paper tool selection failure (wrong pathway)AM-Z1-07: Timed execution collapse (GF6) (speed↑ errors↑)AM-Z1-08: Careless errors in algebra manipulation (repeat density high)AM-Z1-09: Weak checking discipline (accepts impossible answers)AM-Z1-10: Late repair trap (GF7) (no runway)AM-Z1-11: Continuity fragmentation (GF11) (reset weeks)AM-Z1-12: Burnout tail (GF12) (fatigue regression near O-Levels)
Z2: Sensor Pack (how to detect early)
Z2 SENSOR PACK (A-MATH):GLOBAL PHASE SENSORS: P-S1 retrieval reliability P-S2 error histogram (concept/execution/attention) P-S3 time-to-solve distribution P-S4 transfer under wrapper variation P-S5 timed stability varianceA-MATH SUBJECT SENSORS: AM-S1 algebra substrate integrity score (rearrange/factor accuracy) AM-S2 chain-break probability per 10-step segment (where it fails) AM-S3 tool-selection accuracy on mixed papers AM-S4 form-translation accuracy (same concept in new form) AM-S5 checking discipline rate (validity checks actually done) AM-S6 careless-error repeat density (manipulation errors) AM-S7 novelty transfer score (unseen forms/fusions) AM-S8 endurance drop index (late-paper error spike) AM-S9 Sec2→Sec3 jump readiness index (maps to OL-S1)O-LEVEL PROOF HOOKS: OL-S1 Sec2→Sec3 jump risk OL-S3 timed vs untimed gap OL-S4 transfer gap under novelty OL-S5 error-repeat density OL-S6 repair latency vs horizon OL-S8 burnout risk proxy
Z3: Repair Loops (what fixes it)
Z3 REPAIR DIRECTORY (A-MATH):GR12 Algebra Readiness Stabilisation (signature): - pre-load algebra substrate (AM-S1 stable) - verify Sec3 jump readiness (AM-S9 low risk) - remove “silent gaps” before content accelerationGR1 Buffer Build Loop (spine mastery): - lock core families: functions/quadratics/trig/calc/coord geo - small-set mastery + spaced retrieval - build concept maps that support tool selectionGR3 Transfer Loop (wrapper robustness): - train same concept across multiple forms weekly - fuse topics gradually (function + trig, calc + graph, etc.) - mixed sets that force correct pathway choiceGR2 Error-Log Closure Loop (repeat elimination): - tag errors: algebra / chain-break / tool choice / wrapper / careless / checking - micro-drill root cause - retest timed until repeats collapseGR4 Time-Pressure Loop (timed reliability): - timed micro-sets → mixed half-papers → full papers - recovery protocol: stop → re-read → re-select tool → continue → validity checkGR6 Continuity Loop (anti-reset): - weekly minimums + consolidation windows - prevent missing-week drift (which increases chain-break probability)GR8 Early-Warning Thresholds (pre-ramp triggers): - if AM-S2 chain-break or OL-S3 timed gap rises → immediate repairGR11 Pressure-Safety Scheduling (burnout control): - cap load below recovery capacity - protect consolidation to prevent GF12 regressionGR5 Language-Base Loop (when worded modelling fails): - teach problem parsing + translate text→variables
3) Failure Mode Trace (Required)
FAILURE TRACE (A-MATH): AM-Z1-02 algebra instability → AM-Z1-03 formula hunting (no model) → AM-Z1-06 wrong tool selection → AM-Z1-04 chain-break mid-solution → AM-Z1-07 timed collapse → AM-Z1-10 late repair trap → O-Level underperformance + volatility
REPAIR TRACE (A-MATH): GR12 jump stabilisation → GR1 spine mastery → GR3 wrapper audits + gradual fusions → GR2 closure of repeats (algebra/chain-break/tool choice) → GR4 timed stability + recovery protocol + validity checks → GR6 continuity + GR11 pressure safety → P3 reliability on full papers
4) Early-Warning Thresholds (A-Math Gate Protection)
EARLY WARNING (A-MATH): Trigger repair immediately if any are true: - AM-S1 algebra integrity below threshold - AM-S2 chain-break probability rising - AM-S3 tool-selection accuracy low on mixed sets - AM-S4 form-translation accuracy low (wrapper sensitivity) - OL-S3 timed gap widening (timed << untimed) - OL-S4 transfer gap persists across form families - AM-S8 endurance drop index high (late-paper errors spike) - OL-S6 repair latency exceeds remaining runway
5) Proof of Fix (What counts as A-Math “done”)
P3 PROOF (A-MATH): - AM-S1 algebra substrate stable (low manipulation error rate) - AM-S2 chain-break probability low on target-length solutions - AM-S3 tool-selection accuracy high on mixed papers - AM-S4 transfer holds across 3 form families (unseen wrappers) - AM-S6 careless repeat density falling consistently - OL-S3 timed gap small; P-S5 volatility low across 3 full timed papers - AM-S8 endurance stable (no late-paper spike) - AM-S5 checking discipline high (invalid answers rejected)
