[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how did they use textbooks before? Maybe ChatGPT can help supplement the textbook with standardized testing requirements planning.[/quote]

Textbooks were huge before standardized testing. Since SOLs started in earnest, they have gone the way of the dinosaur. It's too expensive to replace them every 7 years and only use them for 5.

The digital textbooks are easier. With those licenses (mathspace, for my subject), I have access to problems from elementary through Algebra 2 and can fish for the standards I need regardless of what textbook they are officially aligned to.  My algebra 1 classes have some things on their homework this week from the 6th grade textbook and others from the algebra 2 textbook. It's kind of wild.

ChatGPT is absolutely terrible and making math worksheets.  Ask it to make one.  "Create a worksheet with an answer bank asking students to graph quadratic inequalities. Give them the quadratic graph and just ask them to shade".  It can't do it. It returns....gibberish. "Create a self checking worksheet for students to turn 2 ordered pairs into the slope intercept form of a line. Make sure both the x and y intercepts come out as integers." Can't do that either. Nothing will be integers.  "Create an AP Calculus style free response question similar to 2008 #2.  Test the same concepts, but do it in a different way."  It will literally just replace the word "cars" with "bicycles".  When you tell it that's not a different way to test the concept, it will apologize and change "bicycles" to "roller skates".[/quote]
