MATHEMATICS

• A student can interact with a chatbot designed with pedagogical principles regarding a difficult concept (e.g., understanding the notion of a p-value in Statistics).
• The student can prompt the student to simplify the concept for greater understanding.
• Chat bots can help clarify vocabulary, and make appropriate comparisons and metaphors.
• Students can prompt for a ‘check for understanding’ and receive immediate feedback
• By teaching students the importance of clarifying questions, they can understand the context of math by generating instant real-world examples.

Example Generator

• AI, while not strongest in context, can be great at generating examples and provides teachers an opportunity to build from an authentic context.
• For example, Chat GPT might generate a scenario comparing two linear equations by proposing a situation involving measurements and a budget for constructing a new playground.  A teacher could customize the AI example to a specific location, like changing the context to the construction of a proposed shopping mall across the street from Kingsway.
• This approach gives the teacher an AI-generated foundation to stand on while easing their workload.
