About Project

ProductiveMath is a Gates Foundation funded AI platform designed to help teachers bring productive failure into middle school algebra classrooms. Instead of giving students direct instruction first, productive failure invites them to explore challenging problems, test ideas, make mistakes, and learn through discussion.
The platform helps teachers create story-based algebra problems, adjust difficulty, anticipate student misconceptions, and prepare classroom discussion support while keeping teachers in control of the final design.



The training combines asynchronous online learning with in-person professional development activities, so teachers can first build foundational knowledge and then apply AI tools through hands-on practice.

Using a Learning Experience Design approach, we followed a design thinking process that included empathy work, problem definition, persona development, course journey mapping, prototyping, and peer heuristic evaluation.
