Abstract:

It is well known that one big issue students have in math classes is related to solving word problems. So, what can we do in a class like Quantitative reasoning or Mathematical Modeling, where most of the problems they have to solve are word problems? How many examples could an instructor show their students to make sure they understand how to approach such problems? This presentation will look into how I use the AI in my Quantitative Reasoning classes as a tool that will help my students understand the process of solving word problems, creating examples and understanding the mathematical logic while applying it in real life. I will talk about what I call Unit Workshops, where my students work in groups to discuss different methods, they find using the AI and compare them to what we worked in class before, looking for errors that may affect the results and/or interpretation of the results. All these workshops are guided, and each group must write a report.
