My sons need help with math. In order to check their skills in pre-algebra, I keep looking for free online tests. Many of these suck. Many have bad problems. I wondered if I could do better... with AI. So I asked Claude to help me create a comprehensive assessment for pre-algebra, breaking things down into sections.
