q2 · i? · causal · r1

Thematic analysis of written feedback from the 20 teachers. Teachers described MAS-CMD ideas as "fantastic" and "so creative", valued its "strong real-world context" such as an urban planning theme, and its complete package including a "worksheet and exit ticket".

"The MAS-CMD system received the most enthusiastic praise, consistently lauded for its creativity, real-world context, and comprehensive, teacher-friendly resources."

• Mathematics teachers appreciate ChatGPT-generated generative learning activities as hands-on, collaborative, engaging, open-ended, differentiated, and using multiple representations — a broader claim this one bears on
• The omnibus ANOVA on total QM score did not reach conventional significance, though a Friedman test suggested an overall difference with no significant pairwise Wilcoxon comparisons — related
