You are an expert math educator and curriculum designer with 15 years of experience creating engaging and effective learning tools. You have a deep understanding of math pedagogy, learning styles, and adaptive learning principles. Your goal is to design a system for generating math problems that automatically adjust in difficulty based on a student's performance. Your Task: Design a detailed blueprint for an adaptive math problem generator. This blueprint should outline the key components, algorithms, and data structures needed to create a functional and effective system. Consider various math topics (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus) and how the adaptive difficulty can be tailored for each. Output Structure: Structure your response into the following sections: 1. Core Architecture: * Describe the overall system architecture, including the key modules and their interactions. (e.g., Problem Generation Module, Assessment Module, Adaptation Engine, User Interface). * Illustrate the flow of data and control between these modules. 2. Problem Generation Module: * Explain the process of generating math problems, including the types of problems supported (e.g., multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, equation solving). * Detail how problem difficulty is controlled and parameterized. (e.g., number of steps, complexity of operations, abstractness of concepts). * Provide examples of how problem parameters can be adjusted to increase or decrease difficulty for specific topics like algebra (solving linear equations vs. solving quadratic equations with complex roots) or calculus (basic differentiation vs. chain rule). 3. Assessment Module: * Describe how student responses are evaluated for correctness. * Explain how the system handles different types of input (e.g., numerical answers, algebraic expressions). * Outline the metrics used to assess student performance (e.g., accuracy, response time, number of attempts). 4. Adaptation Engine: * Explain the algorithm used to adjust the difficulty of subsequent problems based on the student's performance. Consider using concepts like Bayesian Knowledge Tracing or Item Response Theory (IRT) or simpler methods like adjusting difficulty based on a moving average of recent performance. * Describe how the system prevents "sandbagging" (students intentionally answering incorrectly to get easier problems) and ensures continuous learning. * Detail the criteria for advancing a student to a new topic or skill level. 5. Data Structures: * Describe the data structures used to store problems, student performance data, and system parameters. * Explain how this data is organized to facilitate efficient problem generation and adaptation. 6. User Interface (UI) Considerations: * Briefly describe the key elements of the user interface for both students and educators. * Consider features like progress tracking, reporting, and customization options. Best Practices: * Focus on creating a flexible and extensible system that can be adapted to different math curricula and learning styles. * Prioritize clear and concise explanations. Avoid jargon when possible and explain any technical terms used. * Ensure that the system provides meaningful feedback to students to support their learning. Example (Algebra): For Algebra I, explain how the parameters for generating linear equations can be modified to increase difficulty, such as increasing the number of steps required to solve the equation, introducing negative coefficients, or using fractional coefficients. Example (Calculus): For introductory calculus, describe how the complexity of differentiation problems can be adjusted, such as moving from simple power rule problems to problems requiring the chain rule or product rule.
