1. Which AI tool is most helpful for identifying specific congruence postulates (like SSS, SAS, ASA) in a textbook diagram?

   1. Khanmigo
   2. Claude or GPT-5 with vision
   3. GeoGebra
   4. Photomath

2. A student is working on a two-column proof and gets stuck. They ask an AI to explain why two triangles are congruent, but the AI gives the entire proof. What should the student do instead?

   1. Ask the AI to describe the figure in words, then try to redraw it themselves
   2. Copy the proof exactly as given by the AI
   3. Accept the solution since the AI is usually correct
   4. Report the AI to their teacher for cheating

3. A student needs to find the midpoint between two points with coordinates. Which tool would be fastest for this calculation?

   1. Khanmigo
   2. Claude
   3. GeoGebra
   4. Wolfram|Alpha

4. Why does the lesson suggest that explaining a proof to an AI is useful, even if your explanation is imperfect?

   1. AI will automatically give you the correct answer
   2. It is required for most geometry classes
   3. AI can correct your grammar and spelling
   4. The act of explaining forces you to organize your reasoning, and AI will listen patiently to multiple attempts

5. What is the main weakness of Photomath when applied to geometry?

   1. It cannot recognize handwritten text
   2. It cannot solve any math problems
   3. It requires a paid subscription
   4. It works well only on computation problems but struggles with two-column proofs

6. What is the purpose of an auxiliary line in geometry?

   1. To make the diagram look more complicated
   2. To erase unnecessary parts of a diagram
   3. To add information that is not given in the original problem but helps complete a proof
   4. To replace a missing side in a triangle

7. A student uses Claude to analyze a diagram and the AI identifies that triangles are congruent by the ASA postulate. What should the student do next to verify they actually understand?

   1. Accept this answer and move on
   2. Write the proof using the ASA postulate without looking at the AI response again
   3. Memorize the AI's response for the test
   4. Ask the AI for the complete solution

8. What type of geometry problem is Khanmigo specifically designed to help with?

   1. Construction with compass and straightedge
   2. Coordinate geometry calculations
   3. Computing area and perimeter
   4. Two-column proofs and proof reasoning

9. In a two-column proof, what do the statements column contain?

   1. Definitions of geometric terms
   2. Each step of the logical reasoning with the justification for each step
   3. The answer to the problem
   4. A picture of the geometric figure

10. Why is GeoGebra recommended as a complement to AI tools in geometry?

    1. GeoGebra is not AI, but it creates precise constructions that AI can then analyze
    2. GeoGebra can write proofs for you
    3. GeoGebra uses artificial intelligence to solve problems automatically
    4. GeoGebra replaces the need for a compass and straightedge

11. A student is struggling to see if two triangles in a diagram share a common side. What strategy from the lesson might help?

    1. Assume they do not share a side since it is hard to see
    2. Skip that problem and move on
    3. Ask an AI vision tool to label every congruent piece in the diagram
    4. Draw completely new triangles instead

12. What does the lesson mean when it says that a two-column proof is really a 'short argument written in shorthand'?

    1. It contains only pictures and no words
    2. It uses symbols and abbreviations to express logical reasoning efficiently
    3. It is written in a foreign language
    4. It should be as long as possible to show work

13. Which statement best describes the relationship between AI assistance and understanding geometry?

    1. AI should completely replace traditional geometry learning
    2. AI is only useful for cheating on homework
    3. Geometry can be learned entirely through AI without any practice
    4. AI can guide and diagnose, but students must still do the reasoning and construction work

14. A student asks an AI to solve a geometry problem, and the AI gives an answer that seems wrong. What should the student do?

    1. Ignore the answer and guess
    2. Assume the AI is always correct
    3. Stop using AI for geometry entirely
    4. Verify the answer using their own reasoning or another tool like GeoGebra

15. What is the main advantage of using AI vision tools like Claude or GPT-5 on a blurry textbook diagram?

    1. They can solve the entire problem instantly
    2. They can interpret the diagram and identify geometric relationships that are hard to see
    3. They can clean up the image so it looks perfect
    4. They can delete the diagram and draw a new one
