From Traditional Teaching to GEN-AI: A Review of Changes in Mathematics
and Mathematics Education
In this paper, we examine the evolution of mathematics and mathematics education
over the last century, focussing on changes in pedagogical methods, the integration
of digital technologies and the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GEN-AI).
We examine the transition from traditional, memorisation-based teaching to modern
approaches that promote understanding, problem-solving and the interdisciplinary
use of mathematics. In the last ten years, digital tools, interactive communication
technologies, and GEN-AI have radically changed the learning process in mathemat-
ics. The transition from traditional to modern teaching has shifted learning from ba-
sic computational skills to a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and
their application in different scientific contexts. GEN-AI, such as ChatGPT and other
adaptive tools, enable new ways of personalised learning with instant feedback and
interactive problem solving, allowing learners to become more independent, devel-
op digital literacy, and take a more proactive role in their learning. Despite the many
opportunities to integrate technology, the authors point to ethical challenges, the
need for appropriate teacher training and the development of guidelines for the re-
sponsible use of technology. In addition, GEN-AI tools sometimes provide incorrect
or sloppy answers, which can lead to a misunderstanding of mathematical concepts
if learners accept the procedures and results as correct without critical reflection. We
conclude the paper by stating that successful GEN-AI integration is crucial to prepare
learners for the complex challenges of the 21st century and that the role of the teach-
er as a mentor and as emotional support remains indispensable.
