Get ready, math teachers, because we're about to embark on a journey that will revolutionize your lesson planning process. In this episode, we'll uncover the incredible potential of AI, specifically chatGPT, to streamline and simplify your math lesson planning endeavors. Trust me, this isn't just another Photomath equivalent for English teachers. It's a game-changer for math education, and once you dive in, there's no turning back. 

We'll start by setting our standards straight, ensuring that our learning goals are explicitly aligned with the course, standards, and units we teach. No more vague requests like "write a geometry lesson." We'll learn how to be specific and prompt chatGPT to co-create a lesson plan perfectly tailored to our objectives, such as "developing conceptual understanding of quadratic functions with standard F.IF.7." 

But that's not all! We'll also explore the importance of defining our focus, considering the different domains of rigor—procedural, conceptual, and applicable—and how they impact our lesson design. I'll even share a handy resource, my TpT store Moore than Just X, where you can find the complete breakdown of CCSS standards, including their rigor domains. 

Lastly, we'll check for understanding, just like we do with our students. Ask chatGPT to create an exit ticket aligned with your lesson and evaluate if it hits the mark. By following these three key steps, you'll unlock a world of creative and engaging lesson plans that ignite a passion for math in your students. 

So, let's embrace AI as our newest tool in the toolbox, empowering us to address standards, implement best practices, and captivate our students like never before. Get ready to transform your math teaching game!
