Imagine if your learners could practice on questions similar to past exam questions. Well, you could give your learner a question and solution and then ask them to answer five similar questions for practice or formative assessment. This is what is possible with AskGPT which is an LLM (Large Language Model) app trained on the South African CAPS curriculum.
The attached PDF file is a list of 21 question on Ratio, Rate and Proportion for Grade 8 that I prepared for my son. The first 16 questions are taken from the Maths Learne Book published by Ukuqonda Institute. I then wrote the first two step-by-step explanations which I use to prompt AskGPT to generate the 14 explanations from question 3 to 16.
The five questions after the shaded rows numbered Question 1 to Question 5 were generated by AskGPT referring to the 16 questions provided. All the five step-by-step explanations are generated by AskGPT.

Observe the resenmblance of Question 5 to number 2 in the provided questions.
At this point this is achieved with basic prompting. I am working on Fine Tuning AskGPT with the South African CAPS curriculum and I will be using Mathematically Correct and Physical Sciences Spectrum to train it on Grade 11&12 Mathematics and Science. While fine tuning an LLM model take hours, preparing data take a lot of time and I am looking at ways to fast tract this process. Now imagine an LLM trained on all past exam question and their solutions. We will get there, soon.
I am considering conducting workshops on using AskGPT and other LLMs to transform teaching and learning with a focus on lightening the load for educators and increasing productivity. At this point I am doing more work with higher education institutions but I spare time to investigate possibility for the classroom. Please complete the accompanying survey to indicate if you'd attend a workshop on LLM-Aided Teaching and Learning.
