AI Position Statement

The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics position paper “Leading with Technology: Enhancing Mathematics for All Students” argues that mathematics leaders should purposefully integrate educational technologies to strengthen instruction, support diverse learners, and improve assessment of student learning. It emphasizes that technology—including tools such as AI, digital games, and virtual manipulatives—should be used strategically with strong pedagogy to deepen mathematical understanding, promote problem solving, and expand equitable access to high-quality mathematics learning.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics position statement “Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics Teaching” explains that AI tools can support mathematics learning by personalizing problems, offering multiple explanations, and helping teachers analyze student thinking. However, it emphasizes that AI cannot replace teachers and should be used carefully—students must develop strong mathematical reasoning and critical thinking to evaluate AI outputs, which may contain errors or bias.

The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) document “Educational Technology & AI Guidance for Math Leaders” provides a framework to help mathematics leaders make thoughtful decisions about adopting educational technology and artificial intelligence in math education. It emphasizes that technology and AI should enhance mathematical reasoning, equity, and teacher decision-making, while leaders evaluate tools through considerations such as student agency, teacher autonomy, data privacy, and long-term impacts on learning rather than simply adopting tools for convenience.
