The Mathematics Program at Savannah State University proposes a pilot project to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into mathematics instruction beginning in Spring 2026
Three mathematics faculty members, each scheduled to teach two sections of Math 1113 (Precalculus) in Spring 2026, will be selected to participate in the pilot. Each instructor will implement the MathGPT platform in one of their two sections, enabling a comparative analysis between AI-assisted and traditional instructional methods.
To support this initiative, the company behind MathGPT.ai has generously offered free access to the platform for all mathematics faculty and students during the Spring 2026 semester—a service that typically costs $25 per student. All mathematics faculty are encouraged to incorporate MathGPT into their courses during this pilot phase.
If the pilot yields positive outcomes, the program intends to expand the use of MathGPT to all mathematics courses beginning in Fall 2026. At that time, students will be required to purchase access to MathGPT for $25 per semester.
Key Program Elements:
• Assign similar homework across both sections (Section 1: control group; Section 2: test group using AI tutors).
• Evaluate and compare the effectiveness of AI-assisted instruction versus traditional methods
Affordability: Even the modest $25 fee may pose a barrier for some students, particularly those who previously used the free MyOpenMath platform.
