Generating accurate and consistent visual aids is a critical challenge in
mathematics education, where visual representations like geometric shapes and
functions play a pivotal role in enhancing student comprehension. This paper
introduces a novel multi-agent framework that leverages Large Language Models
(LLMs) to automate the creation of complex mathematical visualizations
alongside coherent problem text. Our approach not only simplifies the
generation of precise visual aids but also aligns these aids with the problem's
core mathematical concepts, improving both problem creation and assessment. By
integrating multiple agents, each responsible for distinct tasks such as
numeric calculation, geometry validation, and visualization, our system
delivers mathematically accurate and contextually relevant problems with visual
aids. Evaluation across Geometry and Function problem types shows that our
method significantly outperforms basic LLMs in terms of text coherence,
consistency, relevance and similarity, while maintaining the essential
geometrical and functional integrity of the original problems. Although some
challenges remain in ensuring consistent visual outputs, our framework
demonstrates the immense potential of LLMs in transforming the way educators
generate and utilize visual aids in math education.
