What are we building?

  • An AI-powered system to support meaningful math discourse through analysis of student-written solutions

  • Three interconnected subsystems:

    • Subsystem 1: Interprets and analyzes handwritten student solutions

    • Subsystem 2: Decides which questions and solutions to focus on during instruction

    • Subsystem 3: Suggests discussion points and follow-up questions to guide classroom discourse

What are we learning?

  • How an AI system that suggests discussion topics and questions based on student work impacts:

    • The quality, frequency, and efficiency of math discourse

    • Teacher use of instructional practices that promote deeper learning and engagement

Products

  • AI-driven teacher support tools for student work analysis

  • Intelligent prompts for in-the-moment instructional decisions

  • Scalable system for improving classroom discourse in math
