• Use the AI tutor as a thinking partner, not an answer machine

📊 Assessment Focus

Remember, you’re being evaluated on your critical thinking process, not just getting the right answer. Teachers look for:

• Quality of Questions: Do you ask thoughtful follow-up questions?
• Depth of Exploration: Do you dig deeper into concepts?
• Connections: Do you relate new ideas to prior knowledge?
• Mathematical Reasoning: Do you explain your thinking clearly?
• Verification: Do you check your understanding and solutions?
