Parametric and polar curves AI study session

Have AI conduct a study session to answer student questions and help in visualizing different parametric and polar curves.

Teaching goals

Parametric and polar curves are common topics covered in pre-algebra courses, but can be challenging for students to understand and apply well.

With Flint, teachers can set up an AI study session to give students adaptive practice in problem solving, graphing, and visualization. In the example below, the teacher has entered a learning objective and has provided the AI with a few resources to pull from — two web pages with practice problems, along with two Khan Academy YouTube videos:

Learning objective:

Students will be able to write parametric equations for given Cartesian equations with specified conditions, convert parametric equations to Cartesian form, and convert Cartesian equations to polar form.

Extra customization

Flint automatically creates the underlying rules for the AI tutor to follow and ensures that the AI will give students help without explicitly giving away the answer.

Helpfulness being set to medium to give guidance without giving answers and auto-generated rules that involve guiding students step-by-step.

However, let’s say the teacher wanted to set this AI tutor up to conduct a study session ahead of an upcoming test. To give students the most help possible, the teacher can set the helpfulness level to “full”.

Student experience

Because this AI tutor has been set up to give students as much help as they need, students can freely ask the AI to assist them with any problem.

Students can enter a math problem using the built-in equation editor, or by providing the AI with a picture of their work — either by uploading an image or taking a picture via their webcam.

Additionally, students can ask the AI for help in visualizing problems to further strengthen their understanding.

Example student session where student asks the tutor to graph a polar equation for them.

Other Mathematics teacher testimonials:

"I teach online and have several students working with me asynchronously. I'm using Flint to guide them through specific chapters since I cannot teach them in live instruction. They can watch my videos, but Flint has allowed me to give them examples to engage with that are tailored to their needs. Afterwards, I'm able to see their conversations to know what questions they're struggling with."
