How Can We Use Generative AI to Support Mathematics Education
Friday October 25, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am PDT
Despite indications that Generative AI (GAI) responses to mathematical prompts are not yet robust, there is a notable progression in the technology's ability to provide more accurate and contextually relevant answers. Through a collection of example prompts and responses we demonstrate that GAI as a promising tool for educational support, contingent on careful scrutiny and responsible use by educators and learners. We will work with participants to generate additional questions to support real-time exploration of the potentials and limitations of GAI.

Redefining Abilities: The New Role of Math Educators in AI-Enhanced Learning
Saturday October 26, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Through personal stories, neuroscience, and play, this workshop explores the intersection of math education and learning disabilities, highlighting how AI is transforming our roles as educators. We'll challenge traditional concepts of learning disabilities, showing how AI offers new pathways for those with diverse learning needs in math to engage with the world. Discover how AI not only reframes our understanding but also enriches math learning for all.
