# Subtraction Support and Operator Selection Plan
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for subtraction problems and allow users to choose between addition, subtraction, or mixed operations on worksheets.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Operator Selection UI
|
||||
|
||||
### UI Component Location
|
||||
`src/app/create/worksheets/addition/components/ConfigPanel.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
### New Setting: `operator`
|
||||
|
||||
Add operator selector control in the Basic Settings section, right after the digit range slider.
|
||||
|
||||
**Type Definition:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// types.ts
|
||||
export type WorksheetOperator = 'addition' | 'subtraction' | 'mixed'
|
||||
|
||||
export interface WorksheetFormState {
|
||||
// ... existing fields
|
||||
operator: WorksheetOperator // NEW
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Default Value:** `'addition'` (backward compatible)
|
||||
|
||||
**UI Design:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
{/* Operator Selection */}
|
||||
<div className={stack({ gap: '2' })}>
|
||||
<label className={css({ fontSize: 'sm', fontWeight: 'semibold' })}>
|
||||
{t('config.operator.label')}
|
||||
</label>
|
||||
|
||||
<div className={hstack({ gap: '2' })}>
|
||||
<Button
|
||||
variant={formState.operator === 'addition' ? 'primary' : 'secondary'}
|
||||
onClick={() => onChange({ operator: 'addition' })}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Addition Only (+)
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
|
||||
<Button
|
||||
variant={formState.operator === 'subtraction' ? 'primary' : 'secondary'}
|
||||
onClick={() => onChange({ operator: 'subtraction' })}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Subtraction Only (−)
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
|
||||
<Button
|
||||
variant={formState.operator === 'mixed' ? 'primary' : 'secondary'}
|
||||
onClick={() => onChange({ operator: 'mixed' })}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Mixed (+/−)
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p className={css({ fontSize: 'xs', color: 'gray.600' })}>
|
||||
{formState.operator === 'mixed'
|
||||
? 'Problems will randomly use addition or subtraction'
|
||||
: formState.operator === 'addition'
|
||||
? 'All problems will be addition'
|
||||
: 'All problems will be subtraction'}
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Considerations:**
|
||||
- When operator is 'subtraction' or 'mixed', ensure minuend ≥ subtrahend (no negative answers)
|
||||
- Update `difficultyProfiles.ts` if needed to account for subtraction difficulty
|
||||
- Mixed mode: Should alternate or randomize? → **Randomize** for variety
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 2: Subtraction Problem Generation
|
||||
|
||||
### File: `problemGenerator.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**New Function:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export interface SubtractionProblem {
|
||||
minuend: number
|
||||
subtrahend: number
|
||||
operator: '-'
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Generate subtraction problems ensuring minuend ≥ subtrahend (no negatives)
|
||||
*/
|
||||
export function generateSubtractionProblems(
|
||||
count: number,
|
||||
digitRange: { min: number; max: number },
|
||||
pAnyBorrow: number, // Probability any place needs borrowing
|
||||
pAllBorrow: number, // Probability all places need borrowing
|
||||
interpolate: boolean,
|
||||
seed: number
|
||||
): SubtractionProblem[]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Constraints:**
|
||||
1. `minuend ≥ subtrahend` (prevent negative results)
|
||||
2. `minuend > 0` (no zero minuends)
|
||||
3. Both numbers within digit range
|
||||
4. Control borrowing probability similar to carry probability for addition
|
||||
|
||||
**Borrowing Detection:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function requiresBorrowing(minuend: number, subtrahend: number): boolean {
|
||||
let m = minuend
|
||||
let s = subtrahend
|
||||
|
||||
while (m > 0 || s > 0) {
|
||||
const mDigit = m % 10
|
||||
const sDigit = s % 10
|
||||
|
||||
if (mDigit < sDigit) return true
|
||||
|
||||
m = Math.floor(m / 10)
|
||||
s = Math.floor(s / 10)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return false
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Mixed Mode Generation:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function generateMixedProblems(
|
||||
count: number,
|
||||
digitRange: { min: number; max: number },
|
||||
pAnyRegroup: number, // Probability any place needs regrouping (carry OR borrow)
|
||||
pAllRegroup: number, // Probability all places need regrouping
|
||||
interpolate: boolean,
|
||||
seed: number
|
||||
): (AdditionProblem | SubtractionProblem)[] {
|
||||
const rng = seedrandom(seed.toString())
|
||||
const problems: (AdditionProblem | SubtractionProblem)[] = []
|
||||
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
|
||||
const useAddition = rng() < 0.5 // 50/50 mix
|
||||
|
||||
if (useAddition) {
|
||||
// Generate addition problem
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Generate subtraction problem
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return problems
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 3: Subtraction Typst Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
### File: `typstHelpers.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**New Function:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function generateSubtractionProblemStackFunction(
|
||||
cellSize: number,
|
||||
maxDigits: number = 3
|
||||
): string
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Typst Function Signature:**
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
#let subtraction-problem-stack(
|
||||
minuend, // e.g., 52
|
||||
subtrahend, // e.g., 17
|
||||
index-or-none, // Problem number or none
|
||||
show-borrows, // Show borrow boxes
|
||||
show-answers, // Show answer boxes
|
||||
show-colors, // Show place value colors
|
||||
show-ten-frames, // Show ten-frame visualization
|
||||
show-numbers // Show problem numbers
|
||||
) = {
|
||||
// Implementation
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Differences from Addition
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Borrow Boxes (instead of Carry Boxes)**
|
||||
|
||||
Position: Above the minuend row
|
||||
|
||||
Visual:
|
||||
- Top triangle: Source place value color (giving the 10)
|
||||
- Bottom triangle: Destination place value color (receiving the 10)
|
||||
- Direction: RIGHT to LEFT (opposite of addition)
|
||||
|
||||
Example for 52 - 17:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Borrow boxes] [ ] [B1→0]
|
||||
[Minuend] [ 5] [ 2]
|
||||
[Subtrahend] − [ 1] [ 7]
|
||||
[Line] ----------
|
||||
[Answer boxes] [A1] [A0]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Actual Digits Calculation**
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
// Extract minuend and subtrahend digits
|
||||
let minuend-digits = ()
|
||||
let subtrahend-digits = ()
|
||||
// ... extraction loop (same as addition)
|
||||
|
||||
// Find highest non-zero positions
|
||||
let minuend-highest = 0
|
||||
let subtrahend-highest = 0
|
||||
// ... detection loop
|
||||
|
||||
// Calculate difference
|
||||
let difference = minuend - subtrahend
|
||||
|
||||
// Find highest non-zero digit in difference
|
||||
let diff-highest = 0
|
||||
let temp-diff = difference
|
||||
for i in range(0, max-extraction) {
|
||||
if calc.rem(temp-diff, 10) > 0 { diff-highest = i }
|
||||
temp-diff = calc.floor(temp-diff / 10)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Grid size based on MINUEND (not difference)
|
||||
// But answer boxes only show up to diff-highest
|
||||
let grid-digits = calc.max(minuend-highest, subtrahend-highest) + 1
|
||||
let answer-digits = diff-highest + 1 // Can be less than grid-digits!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Borrow Detection**
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
let borrow-places = ()
|
||||
let needs-borrow-from = () // Track which place borrowed FROM
|
||||
|
||||
for i in range(0, grid-digits) {
|
||||
let m-digit = minuend-digits.at(i)
|
||||
let s-digit = subtrahend-digits.at(i)
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if this place needs a borrow
|
||||
if m-digit < s-digit {
|
||||
borrow-places.push(i)
|
||||
|
||||
// Mark that we borrowed FROM i+1
|
||||
if i + 1 < grid-digits {
|
||||
needs-borrow-from.push(i + 1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Borrow Boxes Row**
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
// Borrow boxes row (shows borrows FROM higher TO lower)
|
||||
[], // Empty cell for operator column
|
||||
..for i in range(0, grid-digits).rev() {
|
||||
let shows-borrow = show-borrows and (i in needs-borrow-from)
|
||||
|
||||
if shows-borrow {
|
||||
// This place borrowed FROM to give to i-1
|
||||
let source-color = place-colors.at(i) // This place (giving)
|
||||
let dest-color = place-colors.at(i - 1) // Lower place (receiving)
|
||||
|
||||
if show-colors {
|
||||
(box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn)[
|
||||
#diagonal-split-box(cellSizeIn, source-color, dest-color)
|
||||
],)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
(box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn, stroke: 0.5pt)[],)
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
(box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn)[
|
||||
#v(cellSizeIn)
|
||||
],)
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**5. Ten-Frames for Borrowing**
|
||||
|
||||
Show ten-frames for places where borrowing occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
Visual concept for ones place of 52 - 17:
|
||||
- Need to compute: (2 + 10) - 7 = 5
|
||||
- Top frame: Show 10 (borrowed from tens)
|
||||
- Bottom frame: Show the 5 filled dots (result after borrowing)
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
..if show-ten-frames {
|
||||
let regrouping-places = borrow-places // Places that needed borrowing
|
||||
|
||||
if regrouping-places.len() > 0 {
|
||||
(
|
||||
[], // Empty cell for operator column
|
||||
..for i in range(0, grid-digits).rev() {
|
||||
let shows-frame = show-ten-frames-for-all or (i in regrouping-places)
|
||||
|
||||
if shows-frame {
|
||||
// Show borrowed amount and result
|
||||
let m-digit = minuend-digits.at(i)
|
||||
let s-digit = subtrahend-digits.at(i)
|
||||
let borrowed-value = m-digit + 10
|
||||
let result = borrowed-value - s-digit
|
||||
|
||||
// Top frame: 10 (borrowed)
|
||||
// Bottom frame: result
|
||||
let top-color = if i + 1 < grid-digits { place-colors.at(i + 1) } else { color-none }
|
||||
let bottom-color = place-colors.at(i)
|
||||
|
||||
(box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn * 0.8)[
|
||||
#align(center + top)[
|
||||
#ten-frames-stacked(
|
||||
cellSizeIn * 0.90,
|
||||
if show-colors { top-color } else { color-none },
|
||||
if show-colors { bottom-color } else { color-none }
|
||||
)
|
||||
]
|
||||
#place(top, line(length: cellSizeIn * 0.90, stroke: heavy-stroke))
|
||||
],)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
(v(cellSizeIn * 0.8),)
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**6. Answer Boxes (hide leading zeros in difference)**
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
// Answer boxes row
|
||||
[], // Empty cell for operator column
|
||||
..for i in range(0, grid-digits).rev() {
|
||||
let place-color = place-colors.at(i)
|
||||
let fill-color = if show-colors { place-color } else { color-none }
|
||||
|
||||
// Only show answer box if within actual answer digits
|
||||
let shows-answer = show-answers and i < answer-digits
|
||||
|
||||
if shows-answer {
|
||||
(box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn, stroke: 0.5pt, fill: fill-color)[],)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// No answer box for leading zero positions
|
||||
(box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn)[
|
||||
#v(cellSizeIn)
|
||||
],)
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**7. Operator Symbol**
|
||||
|
||||
Change the operator cell from "+" to "−":
|
||||
|
||||
```typst
|
||||
// Subtrahend row with − sign
|
||||
box(width: cellSizeIn, height: cellSizeIn)[
|
||||
#align(center + horizon)[
|
||||
#text(size: cellSizePt * 0.8)[−] // Use minus sign, not hyphen
|
||||
]
|
||||
],
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 4: Update typstGenerator.ts
|
||||
|
||||
### Unified Problem Type
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// types.ts
|
||||
export type WorksheetProblem = AdditionProblem | SubtractionProblem
|
||||
|
||||
export interface AdditionProblem {
|
||||
a: number
|
||||
b: number
|
||||
operator: '+'
|
||||
// Display flags added by enrichment
|
||||
showCarryBoxes?: boolean
|
||||
showAnswerBoxes?: boolean
|
||||
showPlaceValueColors?: boolean
|
||||
showTenFrames?: boolean
|
||||
showProblemNumbers?: boolean
|
||||
showCellBorder?: boolean
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export interface SubtractionProblem {
|
||||
minuend: number
|
||||
subtrahend: number
|
||||
operator: '−' // Use proper minus sign
|
||||
// Display flags added by enrichment
|
||||
showBorrowBoxes?: boolean
|
||||
showAnswerBoxes?: boolean
|
||||
showPlaceValueColors?: boolean
|
||||
showTenFrames?: boolean
|
||||
showProblemNumbers?: boolean
|
||||
showCellBorder?: boolean
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Update generatePageTypst
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function generatePageTypst(
|
||||
config: WorksheetConfig,
|
||||
pageProblems: WorksheetProblem[], // Can be addition or subtraction
|
||||
problemOffset: number,
|
||||
rowsPerPage: number
|
||||
): string {
|
||||
// Enrich problems based on operator type
|
||||
const enrichedProblems = pageProblems.map((p, index) => {
|
||||
if (p.operator === '+') {
|

}
|
||||
}
|

} else {
|
||||
// Subtraction enrichment (NEW)
|
||||
if (config.mode === 'smart') {
|

const meta = analyzeSubtractionProblem(p.minuend, p.subtrahend)
|
||||
const displayOptions = resolveDisplayForProblem(config.displayRules, meta)
|

return {
|

showBorrowBoxes: config.showCarryBoxes, // Use same setting
|
||||
showAnswerBoxes: config.showAnswerBoxes,
|
||||
// ... etc
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate Typst with correct function calls
|
||||
const problemsTypst = enrichedProblems.map((p) => {
|
||||
if (p.operator === '+') {
|
||||
return ` (operator: "+", a: ${p.a}, b: ${p.b}, showCarryBoxes: ${p.showCarryBoxes}, ...),`
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
return ` (operator: "-", minuend: ${p.minuend}, subtrahend: ${p.subtrahend}, showBorrowBoxes: ${p.showBorrowBoxes}, ...),`
|
||||
}
|
||||
}).join('\n')
|
||||
|
||||
// In Typst template:
|
||||
return String.raw`
|
||||
// ... setup
|
||||
|
||||
${generateTypstHelpers(cellSize)}
|
||||
${generateProblemStackFunction(cellSize, maxDigits)}
|
||||
${generateSubtractionProblemStackFunction(cellSize, maxDigits)}
|
||||
|
||||
#let problem-box(problem, index) = {
|
||||
if problem.operator == "+" {
|
||||
problem-stack(
|
||||
problem.a,
|
||||
problem.b,
|
||||
index,
|
||||
problem.showCarryBoxes,
|
||||
problem.showAnswerBoxes,
|
||||
// ... etc
|

)
|

subtraction-problem-stack(
|

problem.minuend,
|

problem.subtrahend,
|
||||
index,
|
||||
problem.showBorrowBoxes,
|
||||
problem.showAnswerBoxes,
|

// ... etc
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ... rest of template
|
||||
`
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 5: Problem Analysis for Subtraction
|
||||
|
||||
### File: `problemAnalysis.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**New Function:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export interface SubtractionProblemMeta {
|
||||
minuend: number
|
||||
subtrahend: number
|
||||
digitsMinuend: number
|
||||
digitsSubtrahend: number
|
||||
maxDigits: number
|
||||
difference: number
|
||||
digitsDifference: number
|
||||
requiresBorrowing: boolean
|
||||
borrowCount: number
|
||||
borrowPlaces: Array<'ones' | 'tens' | 'hundreds' | 'thousands' | 'ten-thousands'>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function analyzeSubtractionProblem(
|
||||
minuend: number,
|
||||
subtrahend: number
|
||||
): SubtractionProblemMeta {
|
||||
const digitsMinuend = Math.floor(Math.log10(minuend)) + 1
|
||||
const digitsSubtrahend = Math.floor(Math.log10(subtrahend)) + 1
|
||||
const maxDigits = Math.max(digitsMinuend, digitsSubtrahend)
|
||||
const difference = minuend - subtrahend
|
||||
const digitsDifference = difference === 0 ? 1 : Math.floor(Math.log10(difference)) + 1
|

|
||||
## Phase 6: Display Rules for Subtraction
|
||||
|
||||
### File: `displayRules.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Update resolveDisplayForProblem:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function resolveDisplayForProblem(
|
||||
rules: DisplayRules,
|
||||
meta: ProblemMeta | SubtractionProblemMeta
|
||||
): DisplayOptions {
|
||||
// Detect problem type
|
||||
const isSubtraction = 'minuend' in meta
|
||||
const requiresRegrouping = isSubtraction ? meta.requiresBorrowing : meta.requiresRegrouping
|
||||
|
||||
// Borrow boxes / Carry boxes
|
||||
const showCarryBoxes =
|
||||
rules.carryBoxes === 'always' ||
|
||||
(rules.carryBoxes === 'whenRegrouping' && requiresRegrouping)
|
||||
|
||||
// ... rest of resolution logic (same for both operations)
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
showCarryBoxes, // For subtraction, this means "show borrow boxes"
|
||||
showAnswerBoxes,
|
||||
showPlaceValueColors,
|
||||
showTenFrames,
|
||||
showProblemNumbers,
|
||||
showCellBorder,
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** We reuse `showCarryBoxes` flag for both operations. The rendering functions interpret it as "show carry boxes" for addition and "show borrow boxes" for subtraction.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 7: Auto-Save and Persistence
|
||||
|
||||
### Update `useWorksheetAutoSave.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
Add `operator` to persisted fields:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const {
|
||||
// ... existing fields
|
||||
operator, // NEW
|
||||
} = formState
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/worksheets/settings', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify({
|
||||
type: worksheetType,
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
// ... existing fields
|
||||
operator, // NEW
|
||||
},
|
||||
}),
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 8: Preview and Example Routes
|
||||
|
||||
### Update `/api/create/worksheets/addition/preview`
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Support operator field in config
|
||||
const problems = config.operator === 'addition'
|
||||
? generateProblems(/* ... */)
|
||||
: config.operator === 'subtraction'
|
||||
? generateSubtractionProblems(/* ... */)
|
||||
: generateMixedProblems(/* ... */)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Update `/api/create/worksheets/addition/example`
|
||||
|
||||
Add operator selection for display options preview:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ExampleRequest {
|
||||
// ... existing fields
|
||||
operator?: 'addition' | 'subtraction' // NEW
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function generateExampleTypst(config: ExampleRequest): string {
|
||||
const operator = config.operator || 'addition'
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate appropriate problem type
|
||||
if (operator === 'addition') {
|
||||
// ... existing addition logic
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Generate subtraction problem
|
||||
const minuend = config.addend1 ?? 52
|
||||
const subtrahend = config.addend2 ?? 17
|
||||
|
||||
return String.raw`
|
||||
// ... setup
|
||||
${generateSubtractionProblemStackFunction(cellSize, 3)}
|
||||
|
||||
#let minuend = ${minuend}
|
||||
#let subtrahend = ${subtrahend}
|
||||
|
||||
#align(center + horizon)[
|
||||
#subtraction-problem-stack(
|
||||
minuend,
|
||||
subtrahend,
|
||||
if show-numbers { 0 } else { none },
|
||||
show-carries, // Interpreted as show-borrows for subtraction
|
||||
show-answers,
|
||||
show-colors,
|
||||
show-ten-frames,
|
||||
show-numbers
|
||||
)
|
||||
]
|
||||
`
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 9: UI Updates for Display Options Preview
|
||||
|
||||
### Update `DisplayOptionsPreview.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
Add operator selector to preview component:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
export function DisplayOptionsPreview({ formState }: DisplayOptionsPreviewProps) {
|
||||
// Local state for operands
|
||||
const [operands, setOperands] = useState([45, 27])
|
||||
const [operator, setOperator] = useState<'addition' | 'subtraction'>(
|
||||
formState.operator === 'subtraction' ? 'subtraction' : 'addition'
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// Sync with formState.operator changes
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (formState.operator === 'subtraction' || formState.operator === 'addition') {
|
||||
setOperator(formState.operator)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [formState.operator])
|
||||
|
||||
const [debouncedOptions, setDebouncedOptions] = useState({
|
||||
// ... existing fields
|
||||
operator, // NEW
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<div data-component="display-options-preview">
|
||||
<div className={hstack({ gap: '2', align: 'center' })}>
|
||||
<div>Preview</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Operator toggle (only show if formState is mixed) */}
|
||||
{formState.operator === 'mixed' && (
|
||||
<div className={hstack({ gap: '1' })}>
|
||||
<button
|
||||
onClick={() => setOperator('addition')}
|
||||
className={operator === 'addition' ? 'active' : ''}
|
||||
>
|
||||
+
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
<button
|
||||
onClick={() => setOperator('subtraction')}
|
||||
className={operator === 'subtraction' ? 'active' : ''}
|
||||
>
|
||||
−
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
|
||||
<MathSentence
|
||||
operands={operands}
|
||||
operator={operator === 'addition' ? '+' : '−'}
|
||||
onChange={setOperands}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* SVG preview */}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 10: Validation Updates
|
||||
|
||||
### File: `validation.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
Add operator validation:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export const worksheetConfigSchema = z.object({
|
||||
// ... existing fields
|
||||
operator: z.enum(['addition', 'subtraction', 'mixed']).default('addition'),
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure subtraction constraints:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
if (config.operator === 'subtraction' || config.operator === 'mixed') {
|
||||
// Validate that we can generate valid subtraction problems
|
||||
// (minuend ≥ subtrahend within digit range)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Problem Generation:**
|
||||
- `generateSubtractionProblems()` always produces minuend ≥ subtrahend
|
||||
- Borrowing probability controls work correctly
|
||||
- Mixed mode produces 50/50 distribution
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Problem Analysis:**
|
||||
- `analyzeSubtractionProblem()` correctly detects borrowing
|
||||
- Handles edge cases (100-99=1, 1000-1=999, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Display Rules:**
|
||||
- Smart mode correctly applies conditional scaffolding for subtraction
|
||||
- Borrow detection works for all place values
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Typst Rendering:**
|
||||
- Subtraction problems render with correct operator (−)
|
||||
- Borrow boxes appear in correct positions
|
||||
- Answer boxes hide leading zeros correctly
|
||||
- Ten-frames show borrowing visualization
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Preview:**
|
||||
- Display options preview works for subtraction
|
||||
- Changing operator updates preview correctly
|
||||
- Mixed mode shows both addition and subtraction examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Testing Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Simple subtraction (no borrowing):** 85 - 32
|
||||
2. **Single borrow:** 52 - 17
|
||||
3. **Multiple borrows:** 534 - 178
|
||||
4. **Borrow from zero:** 301 - 89
|
||||
5. **Chain borrowing:** 1000 - 1
|
||||
6. **Result with leading zeros hidden:** 100 - 99 = 1
|
||||
7. **Large numbers:** 99999 - 12345
|
||||
8. **Mixed worksheet:** Alternating + and −
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Path
|
||||
|
||||
### Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
1. Existing worksheets default to `operator: 'addition'`
|
||||
2. All existing UI works unchanged (addition only)
|
||||
3. New operator selector is opt-in
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Migration
|
||||
|
||||
If storing worksheet templates:
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
ALTER TABLE worksheet_settings
|
||||
ADD COLUMN operator VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'addition';
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Order
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ **Phase 1:** Add operator UI selector (ConfigPanel.tsx)
|
||||
2. ✅ **Phase 2:** Generate subtraction problems (problemGenerator.ts)
|
||||
3. ✅ **Phase 3:** Analyze subtraction problems (problemAnalysis.ts)
|
||||
4. ✅ **Phase 4:** Render subtraction in Typst (typstHelpers.ts)
|
||||
5. ✅ **Phase 5:** Update typstGenerator.ts for unified rendering
|
||||
6. ✅ **Phase 6:** Update display rules for subtraction
|
||||
7. ✅ **Phase 7:** Auto-save operator setting
|
||||
8. ✅ **Phase 8:** Update preview/example routes
|
||||
9. ✅ **Phase 9:** Update DisplayOptionsPreview component
|
||||
10. ✅ **Phase 10:** Validation and testing
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Negative results:** Should we allow worksheets with negative answers? (Probably not for elementary level)
|
||||
2. **Zero borrowing:** How to visualize 100-100=0? Show single 0 in answer row?
|
||||
3. **Ten-frame content for borrowing:** Show borrowed 10 + minuend digit, or show the result after subtraction?
|
||||
4. **Mixed mode distribution:** Should it be exactly 50/50, or allow user to specify the ratio?
|
||||
5. **Difficulty profiles:** Do we need separate difficulty profiles for subtraction vs addition?
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Use proper minus sign (−, U+2212) not hyphen (-) in UI and Typst
|
||||
- Reuse as much addition infrastructure as possible (smart mode, display rules, etc.)
|
||||
- Keep the same visual language (colors, ten-frames, scaffolding) for consistency
|
||||
- Consider renaming the folder from `addition/` to `arithmetic/` in the future
