Abstract
This study examined Grade 8 students' use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mathematics at Roxas National High School. Specifically, it investigated students' AI utilization patterns, the challenges they encountered, and the academic implications of AI use. The study employed a quantitative descriptive research design involving 140 Grade 8 students through total enumeration. Data were collected using an adapted survey questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and analyzed using frequency, weighted mean, and ranking. The findings showed that students mainly used AI to understand difficult topics, complete assignments, and obtain step-by-step solutions, with AI chatbots as the most preferred tools. Common challenges included technical issues, unreliable internet, the need for teacher guidance, and concerns about the accuracy of AI-generated responses. Despite these challenges, AI positively influenced students' conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, academic performance, motivation, and independent learning. The study concluded that AI can effectively support Mathematics learning when used responsibly alongside teacher guidance. The findings may serve as a basis for promoting the responsible and effective integration of AI in Mathematics education.
