A note for the parent

What your child had to do in this Triangles problem

This was not a watch-and-copy exercise. The student had to make 4 small mathematical decisions and correct any wrong turns before moving forward.

The skill being built

Reasoning, not answer recognition

The two right triangles AEBAEB and AFCAFC share the angle at AA, so they are similar. That gives AE:AF=AB:ACAE : AF = AB : AC, which is exactly two proportional sides around the common angle of △AEF\triangle AEF and △ABC\triangle ABC.

The mistake we watch for

A wrong answer is useful evidence

Looking for equal angles at EE and FF straight away. They are true, but they only follow after the similarity is proved.

What happens when a step goes wrong?

The choice is crossed out

The app does not pretend the mistake did not happen.

The reason is explained

The child sees the exact misconception behind that choice.

The child tries again

The app guides, but the student still makes the next decision.
