The Brief
- Math anxiety may be stopping students from learning useful AI and data skills, according to Science News.
- AI can generate information, summarize evidence and perform calculations.
- AI does not remove the need for critical thinking and conceptual understanding.
Why it matters
If math anxiety keeps students from building conceptual understanding, they may be less prepared to use and critically evaluate AI and data tools.
Who’s affected
- students learning AI and data skills
- educators and teachers of mathematics
