Listening to the recent ICM panel discussion on 'What Is Math For in the Age of AI?' got me thinking about a much older question. What do we value in learning mathematics? Read my latest blog post here: amiealbrecht.com/2026/09/10/s...

Should we take the keys away? Learning mathematics in the age of AI
Is AI really changing what it takes to learn mathematics? Haven’t we been asking this question for a hundred years?

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

From top: 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1Stone marker saying "Origen de las carreteras radiales" and Km 0 in Madrid, Spain. 
Someone is standing on the marker and several more people's feet are visible nearby. Karen is standing on the Km 0 marker wearing a purple sweatshirt, jeans, and black visor.

In case you have been under a rock in the US and haven't heard about the math errors put out there. You can *never* have a 600% decrease because you can't decrease more than 100% of an amount... 100% is the whole amount. Check out the updates on this post. #iTeachMath

Going up by 600% means 7x as much, bc we add 6x original to original amount. Going from $600 to $10 is amount of change div by original amount --> 590/600 = 98.3% decrease. I updated my "Prime Percents" post explaining successive percent changes #iTeachMath karendcampe.wordpress.com/2024/07/26/p...

Hot take: the derivative & antiderivative rules for x^n should be called the "Polynomial Rule" not the "Power Rule". Bc my #calculus students keep trying to use these rules on e^x and a^x ... 🤷‍♀️😱 Thankfully mostly for integration, derivatives they seem to have down cold. #iTeachMath

I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.
