This image needs to be edited.

The battery (9 Volt) has it's - (negative) at the top and it's + (positive) at the bottom.
If you follow the electric current (I) it always goes from + to -.
You put the + of an ammeter at the place where the current goes in and the - at the place where it goes out again.
So the + of the ammeter should come first in the circuit and then the - and the same applies for the voltmeter.
In this image the - comes first (above the first ammeter in the circuit) and then the + follows (under the first ammeter in the circuit).
The same mistake is made nine times in total: four times for the left circuit and five times for the right circuit.

To fix it:
1. Swap every + and - at every volt- and ammeter.
2. Just swap the + and - at the two batteries (9 Volt).
