Teach mathematics through AI challenges

Teaching math with challenges
Download the scientific presentation1. Data challenge

- Concrete and motivating problems
- Easy for students to understand
- Quick translation into mathematical terms
- Open-ended problems: everyone can propose a solution
2. Mathematical modeling
Covers all high school mathematics

3. Manipulate, experiment

Manipulate: build mental models, visualize errors, trial and error
Example: choosing line parameters to separate two point clouds
Experiment: test ideas, establish mathematical reasoning to understand the objective
Example: find a distinctive feature by averaging an image area

4. Practice, calculate, prove
Paper exercises for practice and further mathematical abstraction

Educational resources for teaching high school mathematics


Using AI challenges, MathAData co-develops educational and digital resources with teachers and the mathematics inspection.
These resources enable teaching mathematics through manipulation and experimentation.
The academic inspection collaborates with the MathAData team and teachers to build and validate these resources in alignment with the curriculum.
Half-day training co-designed by academies and support allows teachers to start without prior knowledge of AI.

Marie, mathematics teacher at César Baggio High School, Lille
We discovered the MathAData project through our inspector at the beginning of September 2023, and I decided to try the activities with my struggling class. The activities are varied and cover different parts of the curriculum with a concrete approach, as an introduction or in-depth study of concepts. Working on the computer engaged all the students. They were able to work at their own pace and progressed much further than I expected, gaining confidence. We also worked on paper with progressive exercise sheets.
MathAData is a valuable source for varied and motivating activities, aligning naturally with the goals of incorporating hands-on and differentiated instruction in our sequences.
