Artificial intelligence and its application in the teaching of mathematics

Abstract

The objective of this study focuses on analyzing an AI-based teaching strategy to improve the teaching-learning process of Mathematics in the seventh grade (EGB) through a mixed-method approach. A semi-structured interview was conducted with two teachers of this subject and thirty-one students. A Likert-type scale survey was administered, along with a classroom observation guide. During the observation, it was evident that the students showed learning delays in the area of Mathematics, as they showed difficulty performing basic operations such as ordering and performing subtraction, addition, multiplication, and division. Furthermore, the teachers used traditional tools such as the blackboard and memorization of tables, without using technology or Artificial Intelligence (AI), which led to students having less interest in learning in this area. The results indicate that AI is not only innovative but also effective in addressing the gaps students face in basic math operations, as it allows for personalized teaching and learning, adapting to the specific needs of each student.
