Part 1 of 5 — Understanding Maths Matters More Than Getting the Answer

As a tutor specialising in KS3, GCSE, GCSE Further Maths and AS/A‑Level (CCEA Northern Ireland), I see one trend more than ever that is on the rise.
Students turning to AI to solve maths questions instantly.
The problem?
Maths isn’t about typing a question into an app and copying the answer.
It’s about understanding principles, recognising patterns and learning how to think logically.
When you skip that process, you skip the learning.
AI can give you an answer, but it cannot give you understanding.
