The Ethics of Using ChatGPT for Maths Homework: A Guide for ATAR Students

/

The question arrives whispered in study groups, texted between classmates, and typed anxiously into Google searches: “Is it cheating to use ChatGPT for my maths homework?” For Gold Coast students tackling demanding ATAR subjects like Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, and General Mathematics, this question represents more than academic curiosity—it reflects genuine uncertainty about navigating educational technology that didn’t exist when current academic integrity policies were written. Recent research reveals that 74% of university students fail to declare AI usage even when institutional policies require disclosure, suggesting widespread confusion about what constitutes appropriate versus problematic AI use.
