MathGPT AI Tutor Now Out of Beta

MathGPT

Ed tech provider GotIt! Education has announced the general availability of MathGPT, an AI tutor and teaching assistant for foundational math support. The tool, first unveiled in January 2023, has now been piloted by more than 30 community colleges across the United States.

In a beta deployment at a dozen California community colleges, participating students completed more than 50,000 tutoring sessions, the company reported. Halfway through one semester of use, 100% of students engaged with the AI tutor for help, spending an average of 7.5 hours of tutoring time per student.

MathGPT offers AI-generated practice problems, interactive videos, example tutoring, and more, aligned with popular textbooks including OpenStax's College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, Introduction to Statistics, and other titles. Rather than simply providing answers, the tutor "thoughtfully walks students through key concepts to inspire and motivate learning and true understanding," according to a news release.

New features on the horizon include new AI support settings, the ability for teachers to translate specific learning objectives into unique, challenging questions powered by AI, and the ability for students to easily upload work for assignments, quizzes, and tests for immediate, individualized feedback with coverage for all foundational math subjects, from pre-algebra through calculus, the company said.

"We used MathGPT in an online introductory statistics course. In an online course, questions sent to the instructor can take minutes, hours, or even a day before the student gets a response. With MathGPT, they got help right when they needed it — even at 2 o’clock in the morning. I think more students read the book in that class than any of my classes in 15 years of teaching,” said Kelli Amaral, instructor at Fresno City College.

"With fewer prep courses available, there's growing concern about higher failure rates in community colleges. To make matters worse, educators are being pushed to do more with fewer resources," said Peter Relan, chairman of GotIt! Education, in a statement. "Improvements to MathGPT are designed to meet students where they are, giving teachers a powerful AI tool to prepare students for transfer-level math and receive the instruction they need to succeed. We've been overwhelmed by positive feedback from instructors and students alike, and inspired to continue building on our legacy of making a lasting impact."
