Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

Studies suggest early math skills are a better predictor of academic success than early reading skills. However, in a typical five-hour preschool day, only 58 seconds are spent on math learning.

To learn math, students must build a mental toolbox of facts and procedures needed for different problems. But students who can recall these foundational facts in isolation often struggle to use them ...
