'Personalized' Learning in Math Has Proved Elusive and Overhyped. Can AI Offer a Breakthrough?
At La Vista High School, math teacher Al Rabanera used a large language model to design a rate‑of‑change assignment linked to real‑world labor data, aiming to make math relevant for his low‑income, marginalized students. The AI‑generated questions prompted personal insights, such as a female student recognizing gender pay gaps. While the tool cut lesson‑planning time from hours to minutes, educators note that AI often produces unrealistic or “cringy” problems. Consequently, platforms like Khan Academy have rolled back interest‑based AI features after modest impact on outcomes.
