🧪 Curriculum Content Sequencing Simulation
Reorder a 10-topic prerequisite knowledge graph and watch how teaching order changes mastery: unmet prerequisites and forgetting-gap decay drive a live learning-outcome score.
Ten curriculum topics — from Number Sense up through Quadratic Functions — sit in a fixed prerequisite graph rendered in 3D. This simulation demonstrates how the order of presenting information within a curriculum can impact learning outcomes: you set the teaching order independently of that prerequisite structure, and a live model computes a learning-outcome score from how many prerequisites are met on time and how much a "forgetting gap" erodes their benefit before the dependent topic arrives. Use the optimal topological order to see a violation-free, high-mastery curriculum, or randomize and reverse the order to watch prerequisite violations and gap decay drag the score down, then press play to watch a learner walk the chosen path while each topic fills in with its computed mastery.
This simulation demonstrates how the order of presenting information within a curriculum can impact learning outcomes. It explores principles of instructional design and cognitive science related to sequence effects on knowledge retention and understanding.
