Math Class: Leverage AI for the Good
Students have used Photomath for about twelve years now. They’ve used it to get great explanations and they have used it to avoid learning altogether. Now there is a host of alternatves from …

I tried to describe a unifying visual schema for the maths I teach to an AI—and it quietly reshaped how I think about mathematics itself. Thoughts?

I am hearing increasing blame cast onto students who do not appear motivated. I've never seen one stay behind when the fire alarm goes off. The difference is that they understand the importance. Teachers may say that motivational strategies are not in their personality...but it's not about "us."

Motivating High School Students
One of the most frequent questions I hear from parents and guardians of high school students is about how to motivate them. When students are not motivated, getting them to use homework as intended…

Are any college math professors using quizzing "gamification" defined as unlimited retakes on a quiz that is resourced by banked questions so the students get a different quiz each time. Then their quiz score is the best of attempts?

So true! But then in high school it's students mis-applying "cross products" from middle school because they bypassed understanding mutiplicative identity.

Yes! Where else would one find prime-mates but in a tree? And if we put the prime-mates in cages, they don't get lost in the branches. If we think ahead and always divide by the smallest possible, the prime-mates are in order.😀

I absolutely agree with you, Kathy! I don't think they need to know the phrase "multiplicative identity" but an in depth schema as to what it does and where it is helpful would help them solve equations.

When students decline learning opportunities, and explaining the relevance & importance doesn't convince them, I explain t the parents & form partnerships with parents.

Yes! Another idea that resonates with my Ss: learning vs. mimicking. Ss sometimes get help from others and think they have found the easy ticket. If mimicking, they tend to forget. When they finally understand the diff, it can be learner-life changing.

That makes sense. Most of the popular resources I have been assigned, have a consistent routine. Is there a single routine that is always the best strategy for every topic?

I thought it was kind and sensitive to make highlighting with a ribbon a choice. I'm not sure if what some might consider "scripting" leads to harmony, positivity, and resilient mental health.

Yes: By definition, a^2a^3 = (aa)(aaa). (a^2)^3 = (aa)(aa)(aa) For the sake of conversation a^(1/2) has one of two factors...which is irrational when there aren't two.

I never teach rules of exponents, just the definition. So they don't ask, "Do I multiply or add?" Fractions: build a prototype w/integers to "see."
