CurricuLLM can support mathematics teaching by linking problems to outcomes, generating practice activities, and helping students understand concepts step by step.
For teachers
You can use CurricuLLM to:
- Plan lessons:
- “Create a lesson outline for introducing Pythagoras’ theorem to Year 9, linked to outcomes.”
- “Suggest activities for practising fractions with Year 7.”
- Check assessments:
- “Does this algebra test cover the required outcomes for Year 8?”
- “Generate a rubric for a project on data collection and graphs.”
- Differentiate tasks:
- “Give me a simpler version of these word problems on percentages.”
- “Suggest extension activities for students who have already mastered linear equations.”
- Map coverage:
- “Show me which outcomes are met by these three tasks: solving equations, graphing lines, and word problems.”
For students
Students can use CurricuLLM to:
- Practise core skills:
- “Give me 10 questions on multiplying fractions with answers.”
- “Make me a short quiz on area and perimeter.”
- Get extra help:
- “Explain how to solve simultaneous equations step by step.”
- “Show me another way to understand probability.”
- Revise for tests:
- “Create flashcards for key formulas I need to know in Year 10 maths.”
- “Quiz me with mixed questions on algebra and geometry.”
- Think deeper (with Socratic questions):
- “Ask me guiding questions to help me work out how to calculate volume.”
Key takeaway
In mathematics, CurricuLLM is most effective when used to generate practice problems at the right level, give step-by-step explanations, and ensure that tasks are firmly linked to the required outcomes.
