Turning math lessons into narrative adventures with AI
In short: Watch how Khan Academy's professional learning specialist demonstrates using Khanmigo to supercharge classroom engagement. This video explores how teachers can move beyond rote memorization to create personalized, story-driven math problems that meet students where they are.
Khanmigo is an AI-powered teaching assistant and student tutor designed to revitalize math education. It addresses a concerning dip in math proficiency by transforming abstract concepts into narrative-driven adventures. Instead of standard drills, the tool generates word problems woven into real-life scenarios—like calculating event costs or basketball trajectories—to make learning more tangible.
For educators, Khanmigo acts as a time-saving partner that assesses student performance to create adaptive learning pathways. It can generate realistic extension activities and customize content to meet diverse needs. The platform is supported by various resources, including a 'Foundations' course on AI ethics and practical applications for lesson planning.
