I was looking for a job so I applied for a teaching job and they responded to me and told me they mostly need mathematics teachers since its a recently established school with few teachers.
I'm Arts and my knowledge of mathematics is below par but since I'm so desperate for a job, I now need your opinion to know if I can use open AI (Chatgpt) to teach students mathematics?

He go hard.. mathematics na by sabiness no be by copy and paste

exactly what I was thinking. It's not a theoretical course that I'll just generate content and explain to the students.
Alright mission aborted

Which class are you planning to teach?

It won't be possible, teach a subject you are grounded in so that students won't embarrass you

But it would've been an interesting test of hypothesis as to wether or nor conversational learning is sustainable & the impacts it has on humans. Cos come to think of it, even with the generated answers there's a lot for you to learn as you can ask it to explain its answers thereby opening up your below par maths skills. Try, if it doesn't work, quit. Just curious 😏

Why not... Combine your brain with chatgpt

I have experimented it,
It sometimes gives wrong answers and if you are not good in that aspect of mathematics you will not know, hence sending wrong Information to the children.
And someone that can't solve mathematics can't command chat Gbt correctly because it is the command you give it that is what it will process,

And again what chat GPT will give you is solution and steps ( that is if it is able to interpret your command correctly)
So what the need when textbook has the solution and step in text.

I don't mean chat Gbt is not intelligent no,
If you give it a clear command you will get an accurate answer of high degree,

he can use mathematics text books for his prompt now or why mathematics solved that question in that way thereby opening up possibilities of exploring maths instead of craming maths. Aren't you curious?

?
Who say anything about cramming.
I said chat Gbt will not help him to teach when he don't have good Mathematics mastering,
Besides let him get a mentor if he want to learn on the job,

you've a point but you didn't have to be all knowing about his future when there's room for improvement

What I mean is that even some maths teachers that can teach mathematics more than average can't use chat Gbt, let alone someone that says he is clearly not good in it,
Fine he can improve let him get a mentor I have a lot of mathematics teachers I mentor, when they run into problem they visit me before they go to class,
Let him find a mentor close by if he can't let he teach what he is good at, unless the students are very bad in mathematics if not they will frustrate his effort or he will end up puting wrong knowledge in them, and it is better for a child not to have learnt anything in mathematics than for him to learn and master wrong approach, because for you to unlearn wrong mathemaical concept from children is very difficult.

ChatGPT isn't perfect, it makes mistakes to. So don't rely on it too much

The AI can teach you, then you teach your students. But first you have to learn it. You can't give what you don't have.

The AI can teach you rubbish in some questions, the bad thing about it is that a novice will not know if it is wrong, it takes a professional to detect error in AI calculation.
Textbook is better for learning with less error because it has being reviewed by many before published,

One thing with learning mathematics is that make sure you learn with error free material unless you will end up learning rubbish.
I am going to publish some errors in chat Gbt in mathematical computations, to prove that it can't be trusted by novice but can be very helpful to professionals in their field because they can detect errors using besic principles that guild the subject matter

You better don't go and disgrace yourself. When the students ask you practical questions that demand immediate answer what will you do?
