New ways to learn math and science in ChatGPT

ChatGPT has quickly become one of the most widely used tools for learning. Each week, 140 million people use ChatGPT to help them understand math and science concepts alone. People also come to ChatGPT to explore new topics, work through homework problems, prepare for exams, and break down concepts they’ve always found difficult.

For many learners, math and science concepts feel abstract and hard to understand. In a recent Gallup⁠(opens in a new window) survey, more than half of U.S. adults said they struggle with math, and many parents reported they don’t feel confident helping their children learn it.

Today, we’re making learning these concepts in ChatGPT even more interactive with new dynamic visual explanations. Starting with more than 70 core math and science concepts, ChatGPT will guide learners by showing how formulas, variables, and relationships behave in real time. These experiences will be available globally across all plans starting today.

Understanding concepts through interactive visuals

Research suggests⁠(opens in a new window) that visual, interaction based learning can lead to stronger conceptual understanding than traditional instruction for many students. When learners can manipulate variables and instantly see the effects, they may be better able to internalize the relationships behind mathematical and scientific concepts.

Now when someone asks ChatGPT about one of the core topics, it can explain it and present an interactive visual module. Users can adjust variables, manipulate formulas, and instantly see how those changes affect graphs and outcomes—turning abstract equations into something they can experiment with directly.

To try it out, you can ask ChatGPT:

• Help me understand the Pythagorean Theorem

• Explain how PV=nRT works

• How can I find the area of a circle?
