Summary
HMH AI Tools work with Into Math to help teachers streamline planning, personalize math instruction, and create curriculum-connected resources that support student learning.
You’ve planned your Into Math® lesson, gathered your materials, and are ready to teach. But as the lesson unfolds, you notice some students could use extra practice, and other students are ready for a new challenge. Finding time to create additional resources can be challenging.
That’s where HMH AI Tools can help. Available on HMH Ed™, these tools work with Into Math to help you save time planning and personalize instruction without starting from scratch. Since they’re connected to the curriculum, you can quickly create resources that reinforce the math concepts and strategies your students are already learning.
Here’s how HMH AI Tools can help you make the most of your Into Math lessons and support your students.
What are HMH AI Tools for Into Math?
HMH AI Tools are curriculum-connected artificial intelligence (AI) tools available on HMH Ed that help teachers plan, personalize, and extend Into Math instruction. These tools make it easier to create instructional materials that align with the math concepts and learning goals students are working toward.
In your classroom, this could mean preparing an Into Math lesson on equivalent fractions where some students would benefit from extra practice with visual models, while others are ready to explain why two fractions are equivalent. Instead of spending time creating separate activities, you can use HMH AI Tools to generate personalized practice that meets your students’ needs.
What are the benefits of using HMH AI Tools with Into Math?
HMH AI Tools can help you spend less time preparing materials and more time teaching. Here are five ways you can use these tools in your classroom.
1. Streamline math lesson planning and preparation
Planning math lessons takes time, especially when you’re preparing activities to support all your students. HMH AI Tools can help lighten the workload by making it easier to create lesson plans and accompanying instructional materials.
With the Lesson Plan Generator, you can create lesson plans focused on specific math standards and learning goals. If you’re preparing an Into Math lesson on multiplication, you can generate a plan that helps students use arrays and equal groups to understand how multiplication works.
The Presentation Generator makes it easy to create slides for your lessons. Just enter the grade level, number of slides, and the math concept you’re teaching. You can even choose how long you want the presentation to last. Once your slides are generated, use HMH Assist to make changes or export them to Google Slides or PowerPoint.
2. Personalize math practice
Not every student needs the same amount of practice to understand a math concept. Some may benefit from extra support, and others may be ready to take their learning further.
With Get Math Practice, you can generate extra math problems, quizzes, and tests connected to your Into Math lessons. Just choose the grade level, number of questions, and skill you want students to practice. The tool creates problems with answer keys and visuals when needed.
Let’s look at a class learning to compare fractions. After reviewing student work, you notice some students could use more practice with fraction models. Others are ready to apply their understanding to real-world problems. You can use Get Math Practice to create additional problems for each group.
3. Support multilingual learners in math
Multilingual learners are developing their understanding of math alongside the academic language needed to explain their thinking. HMH AI Tools help teachers create language supports that make Into Math lessons more accessible.
The Vocabulary Scaffolder helps you introduce and explain math vocabulary. Before a geometry lesson, you might use the tool to create vocabulary supports for terms like parallel and perpendicular.
With the Text Translator, you can translate instructional materials into students’ home languages to help them better understand math concepts. You can also ask HMH Assist to translate a practice set you’ve created.
Scaffold Text can help make math explanations and word problems easier to understand. A multilingual learner may know how to solve a word problem but need help understanding what the question is asking. With Scaffold Text, you can simplify the language without changing the math students are expected to do.
4. Explain math concepts in different ways
Sometimes students need to hear a math concept explained another way before it clicks. HMH AI Tools can help teachers strengthen their own understanding of a concept so they have more than one way to explain it to students.
With Explain Math & Science, teachers can get a clear, curriculum-connected breakdown of a math concept, including key vocabulary and sample problems with solutions. Just select the grade level, choose the audience and experience level, and enter the concept you want explained.
You can also ask HMH Assist to create step-by-step examples with visuals to help students understand the concept. These examples can be used during small-group instruction or shared with families to support learning at home.
5. Keep families and caregivers connected to math learning
Families play an important role in supporting math learning outside of school. HMH AI Tools make it easier to share what students are learning and offer ways for families to practice math together.
With the Newsletter Generator, you can create newsletters by entering the information you want to share. For example, after a unit on measurement, you could generate a newsletter explaining what students learned and suggesting a simple measuring activity families can try at home.
You can also use HMH Assist to personalize newsletters with your school’s colors or translate them into families’ home languages, making it easier to keep families connected to classroom learning.
How can teachers use HMH AI Tools during an Into Math lesson?
HMH AI Tools can support you at different points in your Into Math instruction, whether before, during, or after a lesson and even beyond the classroom. Here’s how you can use the tools throughout the teaching process.
| Instructional stage | How HMH AI Tools can help |
| Before the lesson | Use Lesson Plan Generator to organize instruction around learning goals and Presentation Generator to prepare instructional materials. |
| During the lesson | Use previously generated resources from Vocabulary Scaffolder or Scaffold Text to support students as they work with mathematical language. |
| After the lesson | Use Get Math Practice to prepare additional practice questions and quizzes based on students’ needs. |
| Beyond the classroom | Use Newsletter Generator to communicate learning goals and math activities with families and caregivers. |
Remember, AI-generated materials are a starting point. You know your students best, so review the resources, check the math, and make any adjustments needed to fit your classroom.
Why does curriculum-connected AI matter for math instruction?
AI can help teachers create materials quickly, but those resources also need to support what students are learning. That’s what makes curriculum-connected AI valuable. Instead of generating unrelated activities, HMH AI Tools work with Into Math to create resources that reinforce the program’s math concepts and instructional approaches. For teachers, this means being able to adapt lessons and create additional materials that align with the curriculum’s learning goals. For instructional coaches and school leaders, it means greater consistency in high-quality math instruction across classrooms.
