    I think speed would be irrelevant, or perhaps would discourage deep engagement with the problems.<p>I think presenting it as AI can be wrong is not as valuable as presenting it as developing the ability to question what one is told. (e.g. Verizon Math)

      indeed I agree with you however studies have shown that kids have access to interfaces to chat with an LLM from a young age, and the traction this technology is taking is increasing. Indeed verizon math seems more whole when it comes to topic variety.

    &gt; if she finds an error to gain more XP<p>What does this mean?

      while solving a lathoa case, if you spot the error you get back an amount of points. if you score also the explanation exhibiting your understanding you gain more points.

    It helps us practice critical thinking. What it doesn’t do is help us practice knowing WHEN to use critical thinking.
