Stacked Algorithm Error Analysis
Regrouping Alignment: Check if student recorded carried tens above the tens column (Q3) or crossed out / decomposed a ten properly (Q4).
Smaller-from-Larger Error: Student subtracted top from bottom digit (e.g. \(72 - 36 = 44\)) instead of regrouping.
Multi-Step Sequencing: Student completed Step 1 but omitted Step 2 in Item 5.
