Primary Mathematics with AI and Machine Learning

Number Sense, Adaptive Practice, Playful Problem Solving and Safe Use of AI for Primary and Elementary Maths Teachers

Young children need strong number sense before any technology can help. This book shows primary and elementary maths teachers how to use AI safely and sensibly. Eight chapters cover the history of AI, from the Logo turtle to adaptive practice, number sense and concrete foundations, adaptive practice and maths games, problem solving and mathematical talk, and teaching children what AI is.

You will also find guidance on assessment and spotting misconceptions, and on parents, wellbeing, safety and equity. Practical classroom scenarios, activities and prompts are included, with academic references. The emphasis is always on understanding, play and child safety. Follow your school’s policies on data and age-appropriate tools.
