This $899,988 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Southern Methodist University on September 1, 2025. The project aims to develop a novel approach for automatically generating free, high-quality illustrative diagrams to support mathematical problem-solving for middle school students. The research will involve collaborating with math teachers and open educational resource developers to create AI-enhanced illustrative diagrams that can be used during math instruction to improve student interest and performance. An experiment will be conducted using the ASSISTments online homework platform to examine the effects of these AI-generated diagrams on students' mathematical learning. The technical approach leverages Controlnets, which allow for rich illustrative features to be layered over math diagrams generated by AI from natural language prompts. This work has the potential to make effective math visualizations more accessible and scalable for K-12 education.
