6 Ways Math Teachers are Using AI

Discover how AI tools like Tutero help math teachers save time on planning, marking, and differentiation—boosting teaching quality and engagement.

Most teachers don’t have enough time to teach the way they want to. The ideas and passion are there, but between administrative tasks, marking, and constant planning, it becomes a daily race just to stay afloat.

When time runs short, it’s natural to simplify tasks and choose quicker solutions, which can shift lessons from deeply engaging experiences to ones that simply cover the necessary content. This is never due to a lack of knowledge or care but rather because the available time isn't sufficient to apply every best practice consistently. Teachers are constantly juggling many responsibilities, and teaching quality can sometimes be impacted despite their best efforts.

Why Time Shapes Teaching Quality

🔍 A report from Education Support found that 70% of teachers consider workload as the main reason they’re thinking about leaving the profession. Excessive workload directly impacts teaching quality because critical practices like differentiated planning, detailed feedback, and creative instruction require significant time.

Teaching mathematics effectively requires building understanding over time, yet limited time can make it challenging to consistently provide personalized tasks, targeted feedback, and thoughtful planning.

Educational theories emphasize the importance of sufficient time to effectively address individual student learning needs, support meaningful differentiation, and create engaging, interactive lessons. When teachers have adequate time, they can better tailor instruction to students' capabilities, connect mathematical concepts to real-world experiences, and promote deeper understanding through hands-on activities.

How AI Supports Teachers

AI technology is beginning to impact classrooms significantly by supporting teachers in managing their time effectively. It doesn't replace teachers. Instead, it helps manage time-consuming tasks, allowing teachers to focus more on impactful teaching.

Here are six practical ways math teachers currently use AI to regain valuable time.

Lesson Planning in Minutes

Traditionally, planning effective math lessons took several hours, especially if the lessons required scaffolding, curriculum alignment, or visuals.

With AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, you can generate lesson outlines or sequences of examples tailored to your students' grade level, topic, and specific needs. For instance, simply type in the grade you teach, the topic you'd like to cover, and any particular requirements for the lesson.

Tutero further enhances this by creating complete slide decks, including concept explanations, worked examples, and practice questions aligned to the curriculum. You can then efficiently adjust these pre-prepared materials rather than doing manual prompts and starting from scratch.

Engaging Math Lessons With Less Time

Math becomes more engaging when students understand its practical applications. Adding real-world data, puzzles, or scenario-based challenges significantly increases student interest, but it needs a considerable amount of preparation time.

Claude excels at creating interactive games and activities that keep students actively engaged. For example, you could ask Claude to create a math-focused interactive quiz or puzzle game tailored to your lesson objectives. ChatGPT helps by generating creative lesson introductions or discussion prompts that capture students' interest. Meanwhile, Tutero integrates real-world scenarios directly into lessons, allowing students to connect mathematical concepts with practical applications, such as budgeting, shopping discounts, or measuring real-life objects.

Generating Homework

Homework should reinforce classroom lessons, but often becomes a hurried assignment that doesn't meet individual student needs.

AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT can quickly create targeted practice questions, but these usually come as text-only problems without images or visual support. In contrast, Tutero generates fully formatted worksheets that include images and visual elements that teachers can download or digitally assign, enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of homework assignments.

Streamlined Differentiation

Differentiation is essential for addressing diverse learning needs but can be time-intensive. AI tools simplify differentiation by quickly generating multiple levels of the same task.

ChatGPT can produce tasks with varying complexity, while Tutero offers built-in differentiation with tasks available in three predefined difficulty levels (Mild, Hot, Spicy). Teachers can effortlessly assign appropriately challenging tasks to each student without extensive preparation.

Efficient Marking and Feedback

Giving students helpful feedback takes time, especially when you're managing a full class. With ChatGPT, you can take a photo of a student’s work and get instant feedback. It can highlight mistakes, suggest model answers, or check if students have explained their thinking clearly.  But doing this one by one still adds up and quickly becomes too manual when you’ve got 30 papers to go through.

Tutero also offers powerful marking tools that help teachers automatically check responses, flag misconceptions, and highlight learning trends across a class. This saves time on manual grading and helps teachers deliver targeted feedback faster and more consistently.

Teachers Regaining Their Time

While AI adoption in education is still in its early stages, teachers already recognize clear benefits. Math teachers using Tutero report saving up to five hours per week, which they reinvest into improved lesson planning, personalized student support, or much-needed breaks during busy days

Teachers retain complete control over their teaching approaches while AI efficiently supports them in tasks that previously consumed significant amounts of their time.

🗣️ “Tutero has changed the way I work completely. I used to spend hours grading papers and planning differentiated activities. Now, I finish marking much faster and can provide immediate, targeted support to my students. It’s significantly reduced my workload and improved my overall teaching quality.”— Mikey Grant, 6th Year Math Teacher
