Rethinking Teaching using AI Math Example My AI Education Jan 13, 2025 First off I admit that I was never particularly good at math once I reached calculus. But what bothered me all along was not understanding the real world examples. Yes, some math sets have word problems, but not nearly enough. Wouldn’t it be great if instead of just doing problem sets (yes I know these are necessary) each set included several real world examples as did exams. For example, I asked ChatGPT to do just that for Algebra I and Calculus. My prompt for Algebra I was: Can you give me five examples of how I can connect an Algebra I class to real world examples. Include both the Virginial SOL that is being taught and the real world example. One example I got for this was Scenario : You’re budgeting for a party. You have $200, and decorations cost $50. Each guest will cost $15 for food. Write and solve an equation to find how many guests you can invite. Equation : 15x+50=20015x + 50 = 20015x+50=200 ...
When I was a teacher it took a great deal of time to come up with PowerPoint presentations and even more time when I was teaching virtually and trying to limit my lecture time and increase the hands on learning done by my students. Gamma uses AI to create slide decks up to 10 slides (more if you want to pay). Here is my slide deck and here in the corresponding website. You have the option of downloading the ppt. and you can either create your own sign up or use your Google account. My prompt for the webpage was the same as the ppt. but it added in thoughtful questions for teachers to consider so the presentation isn’t one sided: Make me a slide deck that talks about ways for teachers to use AI in the high school classroom. Keep everything that has already been created but add in questions for teachers to make sure they understand the content being discussed For this presentation I added in to include sites for teachers. You will note that it took out the interact...
