A Call to Action for AI to Promote Mathematical Reasoning
Former elementary math teacher Nicola Hodkowski recounts how shifting from surface‑level drills to a "second‑order model" (SOM) of student reasoning boosted her class’s proficiency from 58% to 85% in one year. By inferring whether students counted in single units or composite units, she tailored instruction to transform existing conceptions into deeper mathematical understanding. The article argues that current AI ed‑tech tools merely grade or hint, lacking the ability to infer student mental operations. Hodkowski calls on developers to build AI that models reasoning, guides conceptual transformation, and supports teachers with actionable insights.
