| claim-type | existence— “The results of RQ3 identified 20 commercialized AI-based mathematical education (AIME) tools available on the internet, categorized into two distinct groups: Generative AI Tools and Pedagogical AI Tools.” | |
| method — evidence | — “This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) to investigate the applications and trends of AI in mathematics education by examining articles published in reputable journals indexed in Web of Science and Scopus.” | |
| mechanism | learning analytics turns large volumes of student data into identification of struggle points, which lets teachers intervene in a targeted way and so improves outcomes— “By analyzing vast amounts of educational data, learning analytics helps educators identify areas where students struggle, enabling targeted interventions and support” | mechanisms[0] |
| mechanism | tool type is matched to learner maturity: chatbots require the capacity to handle complex interactive systems and so suit older students, while AR/VR carries engagement for younger ones— “This can be interpreted as a tendency for chatbots to be more suitable for older students who can engage with complex interactive systems, while AR and VR technologies are effectively used to enhance engagement and understanding among younger students in school settings.” | mechanisms[1] |
| extends | Hwang (2022)— “Since Hwang's (2022) study only identified ITS, ALS, and robotics as AI types, further research is needed to identify a broader range of AI types.” | claim_relations[0] |
| extends | Mohamed et al. (2022)— “Although Mohamed et al. (2022) found a wider range of AI approaches, such as teachable agents, mathematical tools, and autonomous agents, the study did not clearly specify the names of the AI tools or applications used.” | claim_relations[1] |
| extends | Niño-Rojas et al. (2024)— “The study by Niño-Rojas et al. (2024), while specifically mentioning the systems like ALEKS, PAT2Math, GeoGebra, and MATHia, is limited to ITS only.” | claim_relations[2] |
| sense | AI in mathematics education - AS THIS REVIEW MAPS IT: commercialised, market-ready tools, reported as a deliberate bridge from research to practice rather than as a survey of the research— “By focusing on commercialized AI tools and their functionalities, this study aims to fill a critical void in the literature.” | senses[0] |
| sense | the gap this review addresses - stated as a gap in ACCESSIBILITY rather than in knowledge: the synthesis missing is of tools educators can readily adopt— “there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the synthesis of accessible AI tools that educators can readily adopt to enhance classroom teaching and learning experiences.” | senses[1] |
| sense | the gap this review fills - stated as a gap in ACCESSIBILITY rather than in knowledge: a shortage of syntheses of tools 'that educators can readily adopt', which makes adoptability the criterion of relevance— “there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the synthesis of accessible AI tools that educators can readily adopt to enhance classroom teaching and learning experiences” | senses[2] |
| control | 81 remaining articles screened on the complete text, with 24 deleted against the stated exclusion criteria — held — rules out articles that meet the search string but not the question - screening on the full text rather than the abstract is what catches them— “The remaining 81 articles were screened by reviewing the complete article, and 24 articles were deleted using exclusion criteria.” | controls[0] |
| outcome (stated by the tagger, no quotation) | control — held | controls[0] |
| for which use | limitation — the review's temporal coverage: THIS TIMEFRAME MAY NOT CAPTURE LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENTS— “While this timeframe may not capture long-term developments, the emphasis on recent research provides actionable insights aligned with contemporary educational needs and technological capabilities.” | limitations[0] |
| for which use | limitation — the linguistic coverage: THIS STUDY FOCUSED ON ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ARTICLES DUE TO PRACTICAL CONSTRAINTS— “While acknowledging the value of multilingual research, this study focused on English-language articles due to practical constraints, such as the availability of standardized search terms and the need for accurate analysis without the potential for translation inaccuracies.” | limitations[1] |
| for which use | limitation — this review as a survey of AI in mathematics education: it is scoped to commercialised, market-ready tools, so non-commercial and research-only systems are outside it by design— “This study aims to address these limitations by conducting a systematic review with a targeted focus on commercialized AI tools that have demonstrated applicability in mathematics education. By analyzing tools that are already market-ready” | limitations[2] |
| for which use | limitation — the coverage of this review: the criteria table excludes non-English publications, book series, books, book chapters and conference proceedings— “Exclusion Journals (systematic review), book series, book, chapter in book, conference proceeding Non-English publications” | limitations[3] |
| replication | untested | |
| limitation | The five-year (2019-2024) window may miss longer-term developments in the field.— “While this timeframe may not capture long-term developments, the emphasis on recent research provides actionable insights aligned with contemporary educational needs and technological capabilities.” | limitations[0] |
| limitation | Only English-language publications were included, excluding multilingual research.— “While acknowledging the value of multilingual research, this study focused on English-language articles due to practical constraints, such as the availability of standardized search terms and the need for accurate analysis without the potential for translation inaccuracies.” | limitations[1] |
| limitation | The review's map of the field is a map of the market: it covers only tools that are already commercialised and market-ready.— “This study aims to address these limitations by conducting a systematic review with a targeted focus on commercialized AI tools that have demonstrated applicability in mathematics education. By analyzing tools that are already market-ready” | limitations[2] |
| limitation | The literature searched excludes non-English publications and every non-journal form, so the picture also excludes conference and book literature. Quote is from the criteria table.— “Exclusion Journals (systematic review), book series, book, chapter in book, conference proceeding Non-English publications” | limitations[3] |
| limitation | The evidence base is 32 articles, reached after 24 were deleted by the exclusion criteria and 25 removed as redundant - so the synthesis rests on a set whose size is set as much by the filters as by the literature.— “article, and 24 articles were deleted using exclusion criteria. Before the data abstraction and analysis stage, the reviewer removed 25 redundant articles, resulting in an overall 32 articles to be included in this study” | limitations[4] |
finding · quantity · variable · definition · key-term — grounded in the full text| finding | Most studies of AI in mathematics education were conducted at the middle/high school level.— “The results show that most studies related to AI in mathematics education were conducted at the middle/high school level” | content_tags.findings[0] |
| finding | The AI tools used in mathematics education fall into eight named types: adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, augmented reality, virtual reality, serious games, learning analytics and mathematics problem solvers.— “The results indicate that AIME tools were categorized into several distinct types, including adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, augmented reality, virtual reality, serious games, learning analytics and mathematics problem solver.” | content_tags.findings[1] |
| finding | Chatbots were the most frequently studied AI tool category in the 2019-2024 window, with virtual reality tools second.— “Chatbots were the most prevalent in these recent years, followed by virtual reality tools demonstrated significant potential in making learning more interactive and engaging.” | content_tags.findings[2] |
| finding | Chatbot studies appear only at university and adult-learner level, never in school-level mathematics classrooms.— “Chatbots, although the most popular among studies involving AIME, are only implemented at the university level and for adult learners.” | content_tags.findings[3] |
| finding | AI-driven serious games and mathematics problem-solver applications are the two least-researched categories in the corpus.— “The least focused category of AIME is the integration of AI in serious games and the use of mathematics problem solver applications.” | content_tags.findings[4] |
| finding | Most commercialized tools identified are pedagogical rather than generative, seventeen of them being teaching-and-learning platforms such as GeoGebra, Khan Academy and Squirrel AI.— “Among the identified tools, the majority fall under the category of Pedagogical AI Tools (N=17), which are primarily designed to enhance teaching and learning through interactive platforms, such as GeoGebra, Khan Academy, and Squirrel AI.” | content_tags.findings[5] |
| finding | Augmented and virtual reality technologies raise students' motivation and problem-solving skills in mathematics. | content_tags.findings[6] |
| finding | The reviewed literature converges on a call for longitudinal work measuring long-term effects of AI in mathematics education on learning outcomes, motivation and educational equity. | content_tags.findings[7] |

When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.
