Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne have developed an AI-based learning system designed to provide individualized support for schoolchildren in mathematics. The system utilizes eye-tracking technology via a standard webcam to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses. By monitoring eye movements, the AI can pinpoint areas where students struggle, displaying the data on a heatmap with red indicating frequent focus and green representing areas glanced over briefly.
This AI-driven approach allows teachers to provide more targeted assistance, improving the efficiency and personalization of math education. The software classifies the eye movement patterns and selects appropriate learning videos and exercises for each pupil. Professor Maike Schindler from the University of Cologne, who has collaborated with TUM Professor Achim Lilienthal for ten years, emphasizes that this system is completely new, tracking eye movements, recognizing learning strategies via patterns, offering individual support, and creating automated support reports for teachers.

A recent discussion has emerged regarding the use of specific mathematical terminology in educational settings. A young educator expressed concern over a visiting math teacher's use of the term "reduce fractions" during a lesson. The educator questioned whether it was appropriate to correct the more experienced teacher for using what they perceived as outdated or imprecise "edu-speak." This situation has sparked debate about the evolution of mathematical language and its implications for teaching practices.
Many modern elementary teachers get upset by the use of the term "reduce a fraction". Some argue that the term "reduce" can be misinterpreted by students as solely meaning "make smaller," potentially leading to confusion. However, historical context reveals that the term "reduction" in mathematics once had a broader meaning, encompassing the transformation of a quantity from one denomination to another without altering its value. This broader definition was prevalent in arithmetic textbooks until the late 1930s and 40s, when the term became primarily associated with fractions in "lowest terms" or "simplest terms."
