AI exercises from the textbook: how to save a teacher hours
A teacher spends hours a week on two jobs that are not teaching: writing exercises and checking them. AI now does both well enough — if you set the right limits.
How it works
- The source is the textbook, not the internet. The AI reads the very topic the class is on and writes problems at the same level, with the same terms. If the book is scanned, it reads the page images.
- Three kinds: multiple choice, numeric and short answer. The first two are checked mechanically, the third by the AI.
- The teacher chooses which exercise goes to the class. The AI suggests; it does not decide.
- After a wrong answer comes an explanation, not just the right option. The student sees the path to the solution.
What stays with the teacher
- Explaining the topic and leading the lesson.
- The final grade: what the AI gives is a suggestion the teacher can change.
- Deciding who gets which individual assignment.
What to be careful about
- AI makes mistakes. Rarely, but it does — especially in geometric figures and in the wording of word problems. Glance at an exercise before sending it to the class.
- Language. An exercise should be in the language of the textbook, not of the interface.
- Data. Ask the provider whether students' answers are used to train models.
The result
When exercises are written and checked automatically, every answer lands on the student's knowledge map. For the first time the teacher sees not the class average but who is behind on which topic.
