Problem

Teaching math word problems to 6th grade students can be challenging, especially when it comes to keeping their attention and making the material engaging. Traditional teaching methods often fall short in this regard, leading to disinterest and poor performance among students.

In addition, creating learning materials for teachers can be time-consuming and require a lot of effort. This can be a barrier for educators who want to provide high-quality resources for their students but lack the time or expertise to do so.

Solution

To address these challenges, we developed a lesson plan that uses Gen AI technology to teach 6th grade students how to solve math word problems. Our approach incorporates interactive elements and personalized learning experiences that keep students engaged and motivated throughout the lesson.

In addition, we created a suite of learning materials that includes a presentation for teachers to use in class, a video that reinforces key concepts, and a storybook that students can read after class. These materials were also developed using AI technology, which allowed us to create high-quality resources quickly and efficiently.
