In this workshop you will explore how chatbots can be used as learning partners in mathematics, rather than tools that simply provide answers.[br][br]The activities come from a teaching sequence designed for 6th grade students working with negative numbers and generative AI.[br][br]The sequence focuses on three learning goals:[br][list][*]Students learn how to prompt a chatbot[/*][*]Students learn how generative AI can be used for learning – not cheating[/*][*]Students develop an understanding that a chatbot builds its responses based on the information it is given[/*][/list][br]Below you will try three activities from the sequence.[br][br]The teaching sequence has been written by Bo Kristensen.

[size=200]Activity 1 | Walk & talk with Villy[/size]

In this activity students explore negative numbers by talking to a chatbot about their surroundings. In classrooms this often happens at a computer, but students can also use a mobile phone and talk with the chatbot while walking around. Here you can simply look around you and start a conversation with the chatbot.

[b]Goal[/b][br]Learn how to prompt a chatbot.[br][br][b]Task[/b][list=1][*]Open the chatbot Villy [url=https://schoolhub.ai/en-US/generate/chatbot/view/f1f8c5a7-8d4f-4116-914e-19881dc75f43]here[/url][/*][*]Start a conversation with Villy.[br][/*][*]Tell Villy where you are and what you see around you.[br][/*][*]Talk about where negative numbers appear in everyday life.[/*][/list]You can chat with Villy in any language you prefer.

[size=200]Activity 2 | Compare chatbots[/size]

In this activity students explore how different chatbots help with mathematical thinking.

[b]Goal[/b][br]Explore how generative AI can be used for learning – not cheating.[br][br][size=150][b][size=100]C[/size][size=100]hatbots[/size][/b][/size][br]1️⃣ [url=https://schoolhub.ai/prompt/chat-for-students]Chatbot 1[/url] | 2️⃣ [url=https://skrivsikkert.dk/chatgpt-dansk/]Chatbot 2[/url] | 3️⃣ [url=https://schoolhub.ai/prompt/the-math-guide]Chatbot 3[/url][br][br][b]Tasks about negative numbers[br][/b]Use the tasks from the worksheet → [url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UDlOp6wiXgoS6_V4lEuRIzLczuqobg_E/view?usp=sharing]kortlink.dk/2u87x[/url][b][br][br]Task[/b][list=1][*]Open chatbot 1, 2 and 3.[br][/*][*]Ask them to help with some of the tasks about negative numbers.[br][/*][*]Try the same tasks in all three chatbots.[br][/*][*]Compare how they respond.[/*][/list][br][b]Note your observations[/b]

[b]Reflect[br][/b][list][*]Which chatbot helped you think the most?[/*][*]What differences did you notice between 1, 2 and 3?[/*][/list]

[size=200]Activity 3 | Design a learning chatbot[/size]

In this activity students design a chatbot and explore how its behaviour depends on the prompt.

[b]Goal[/b][br]Develop an understanding that a chatbot builds its responses based on the information it is given.[br][br][b]Step 1 – Build your chatbot[/b][br]Go to [url=https://schoolhub.ai/start]schoolhub.ai[/url] and log in or create a free account.[br][br]Create a mathematics teacher chatbot that helps students think about mathematics instead of giving them answers.[br][br]Your prompt should describe:[br][list][*]how the chatbot responds to students’ questions[/*][*]how it asks follow-up questions [/*][*]its personality[/*][/list][br]The goal is to design a chatbot that supports learning rather than replacing thinking. Design a chatbot that you would actually want your students to talk to.[br][br]Need inspiration?[br][br]Example start of a prompt:[br][quote]You are a mathematics teacher for primary school students. Your goal is to help students understand mathematical problems and learn from mistakes.[/quote]See full example prompt (you can copy and modify it) → [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FWXsxaC3E6NJYajAm0imF6mGs4pu1uZGTSwQkRsvjXY/edit?usp=sharing]kortlink.dk/2u87f[/url][br][br][b]Step 2 – Share your chatbot[/b][br]Copy the link to your chatbot.[br][br]Add your chatbot link to the shared document → [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VgJEztTUVl2JbM2O3hlgl0WkS29bVvn1pllKOcriKyc/edit?usp=sharing]kortlink.dk/2u88c[/url][br][br]Choose a row under the discussion language you prefer.[br][br][b]Step 3 – Test another chatbot[/b][br]Open the chatbot in the same pair as yours in the shared document.[br][br]Ask it to help with a task about negative numbers.[br][br]Pay attention to how the chatbot guides the student’s thinking.[br][br][b]Step 4 – Guess the prompt[/b][br]Try to guess what the creator emphasised in their prompt.

[b]Step 5 – Reveal the prompt[/b][br]Find the creator of the chatbot and compare your guess with the original prompt.[br][br]How close was your guess?[br][br]Which part of the prompt seemed to have the biggest effect on the chatbot’s behaviour?
