Ask HN: Can high school math be motivated by writing code to train and use LLMs?

One of the most effective motivators I’ve seen is combining math and computer science with game development. Language models on their own can be a bit dry, but if you integrate them as agents in a game world alongside math-based challenges, it could be really engaging. I remember Raspberry Pi’s Educational Minecraft; using a setup like that, where you train characters to have their own personalities, could be an exciting way to teach both

How interested are the students in writing code and LLMs?

How good a match is that sort of math for the required-syllabus & standardized test math that they'll be expected to know?

What's your budget for computers & software that can do the code & LLM stuff?

High school math is barely motivated by practical exercises. If you made it fully abstract nobody would learn anything from the class.
