Research demonstrates that learners who receive one-on-one tutoring perform better than those who receive only traditional classroom instruction and tools that systematically address students' misconceptions and errors whilethey are working on problems – not after they complete an assignment or exam – enable those students to learn better and faster.

The project team will develop a new software product for use with StepWise AI, a product developed with previous ED/IES SBIR awards, to assist students with math word problems.

The team will fully develop and test the StepWise Virtual Tutor for Algebra I, an online artificial intelligence tutor designed to provide real-time assessments and personalized tutoring for middle and high school students. As a required course, algebra represents a shift from tangible numeric operations to more abstract concepts and thus is an important gatekeeper to academic success in STEM in high school and beyond.

This project team will develop and test a prototype of the StepWise Virtual Tutor, designed to be an artificial intelligence software tutoring program for Algebra I students. The tutor will track students as they answer questions, catch algebraic and arithmetic errors, provides hints, and aggregate reports in an instructor dashboard.
