Abstract
Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot have rapidly expanded into both K-12 and higher education, transforming the way students engage with writing and problem-solving tasks. In mathematics, AI is used not only to solve practice problems but also to explain complex concepts and serve as a digital tutor. While these tools offer educational benefits, they also introduce ethical concerns, such as student over-reliance, bias in AI-generated solutions, and transparency in problem-solving processes.
Drawing from the research literature and best practices in education, practical strategies are explored to help educators and students understand how to use GenAI ethically and responsibly. The discussion concludes with actionable strategies for educators to leverage GenAI responsibly in K-12 math classrooms.
