Generate a quiz to assess understanding of geometric reflections

Contributed by: Jordan Hasler, Wolfram|Alpha Math Team

ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"][]

returns an interactive assessment on plotting geometric reflections.

Details

ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"] randomly picks a triangle, rectangle, or square to reflect about the given axis. The user is then asked to choose points on the new, rotated polygon.
The interface returned by ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"] includes the following buttons:
Check answerautomatically grades input with feedback
Reset problemresets the problem by clearing the accumulated data table and moving locators back to their starting positions
Next problemrandomly generates a new problem and internally saves the previous problem history
Print reportprints a description of the problems that have been attempted so far, all guesses made and whether the last guess on each problem was correct
Styling and interface controls may be found under the "Display options" opener.

Examples

Basic Examples (1) 

Generate an interface to quiz yourself on plotting a reflection of a polygon by moving points on a graph:

In[1]:=
ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"][]
Out[1]=

Scope (3) 

Attempts are marked as correct or incorrect based on whether or not the conditions of the description are met:

In[2]:=
ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"][]
Out[2]=

If an attempt does not approximately meet the specified criteria, it is marked as incorrect:

In[3]:=
ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"][]
Out[3]=

Clicking the Print report button returns a description of the problems that have been attempted so far, all guesses made and if the last guess on each problem was correct:

In[4]:=
ResourceFunction["GeometricReflectionQuiz"][]
Out[4]=
Out[4]=
