Can AI and Math Work Together? Here’s What Teachers Say

   Specific lessons to help teach standards.

   Using it to lesson plan.

   It helps me with misconceptions and differentiation.

   Gaming for review.

   It can serve all kind of students, including students with disabilities.

   Different strategies to solve math.

   I believe that AI could model how to solve problems.

   Help generating practice problems.

   Assessment and reinforce skills.

   AI can differentiate for my ELL (English learner) and special-needs kids.

   The use of AI to develop lessons has helped a little with cutting down time, but the student use often results in them using it to simply get the answer. Very few students use it to learn how to solve the answer.

   Using AI to meet modern-day students at their level of interest.

   Some teachers have used AI to plan lessons and create worksheets, so it is freeing up their time.

   I discuss the advantages it has when you don't have a teacher to help you understand concepts, but that it is not a replacement for their work or thinking. That we should use AI to check our work or as a learning tool and not as a replacement for our own thinking and work.

   Little success so far, I've only attended trainings within the past week. What I have done is shown the limitations of it and taught students how to identify and fix its mistakes.

   AI is dumbing down the process.

   The only AI we are using in math instruction is a program that is for our struggling learners—it is only somewhat effective—students try to get some benefit, but we haven't seen a difference in reluctant learners.

   I think allowing it at certain times (not all the time) is a good way to let them use it as a resource rather than to cheat.

   I haven't done much actual integrating, but I believe in the “less is more” approach. Start small, maybe encouraging a few students to use a virtual tutor, then using an AI tool for homework.

   Generating problems, but even then, I don't always get what I am looking for. Generally, it seems that AI is really bad at solving math problems.

   Showing students how to pose questions. If they ask "teach me how to remember this" or "how do I know what order to do this in," it helps them learn it on their own.

   Use it only for reinforcing skills that have already been taught.

   Teaching students to use it as a tutor has yielded the best results.

   Having students explain the steps that the AI program showed them.

   Show them that AI makes mistakes and can't always be trusted.

   I give similar problems on paper after letting students try to figure it out on their own. Those who cheated without [doing their own] work struggle. Those who used it correctly can adapt.

   Practice after theory has been taught.

   I mostly use it to help me create question banks for practice.

   Currently, I use AI for creating versions of multiple-choice questions for practice.

   Students do not buy into the benefit of AI yet.

   It is a good tool for helping those who are failing in the traditional methods.

   Reteaching of a core concept in a manner that can help a student individually.
