PROBLEMS WITH MATH:
- AI giving wrong feedback (said 8 was correct for 2+7=9)
- Generic responses not building mathematical understanding
- No validation of correct/incorrect math answers
- Poor pedagogical approach for arithmetic
SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED:
✅ Mathematical Expression Detection
- Added regex to detect math expressions (+, -, ×, ÷, =)
- Special handling for arithmetic vs science questions
✅ Math Answer Validation
- Evaluates basic arithmetic (2+7, 10+5, etc.)
- Validates if child's answer matches correct result
- Provides accurate feedback for right/wrong answers
✅ Better Math Pedagogy
- Correct answers: 'Excellent! 2+7 does equal 9!'
- Incorrect answers: 'Close thinking! Let's count together...'
- Don't know: 'Let's solve this step by step using counting!'
✅ Enhanced AI Prompts
- Math context awareness in AI responses
- Focus on counting, number sense, arithmetic understanding
NOW: Math questions get proper mathematical validation and education!
