Responsible learning

Use AI to support your thinking.

Use it to understand methods, practise and check your reasoning—never to replace your own working.

Overview

What good AI use looks like

AI should help you understand the method. You should still be able to explain every step yourself.

Explain steps

Ask for a hint first, then request the complete method only after attempting the question.

Build practice

Generate questions at your level and ask for feedback on your working.

Find mistakes

Share your attempt and ask for the first incorrect step and why it is wrong.

School approved

Tools you can use

Use these responsibly. Ask your teacher before using AI for assessed work.

Guidance

Use AI as a study partner, not a shortcut

Do

  • Ask for hints before full solutions.
  • Ask it to identify your first mistake.
  • Generate practice at your year or exam level.
  • Verify answers with notes or another method.

Avoid

  • Copying answers without understanding.
  • Using AI for assessed work without permission.
  • Trusting formulas or facts blindly.
  • Sharing personal data or school logins.
Useful prompt: “I’m in Year 9. Identify the first mistake in my working, explain why, then give me one hint. Do not give the final answer until I ask.”

Reliability

Confident answers can still be wrong

AI can invent steps, definitions or results that look convincing. Verification is part of learning mathematics.

Use another method

Substitute back in, estimate or solve a simpler version.

Compare with notes

Ask for the method used in class if the approach is unfamiliar.

Inspect each step

One incorrect step can invalidate the entire solution.

Transparency

AI on this website

No on-page AI

The site has no chatbot and does not use AI to read what you type.

Reviewed resources

AI may have helped draft some material, which was then reviewed and edited by staff.

Supported development

AI assisted with code and layout work; final decisions remain human-made.
