This paper examines arithmetic thinking, the integration of AI-powered mathematics solvers, and AI platforms. Arithmetic thinking encompasses understanding mathematical concepts, demonstrating flexibility by solving problems using multiple methods, developing number sense through the application of arithmetic properties and the hierarchy of operations, and justifying solutions through logical reasoning. While traditional math solvers assist in obtaining answers to arithmetic problems, they often fail to explain the rationale behind a particular solution. The procedural steps they provide typically illustrate how to solve a problem but do not foster the development of arithmetic thinking. In contrast, many AI platforms not only offer procedural methods for solving arithmetic problems but also engage students in deeper conceptual understanding. When students input questions into AI chatbots and request explanations for arithmetic solutions, these systems can provide clear reasoning grounded in arithmetic concepts. Consequently, AI has the potential to significantly enhance arithmetic thinking. The involvement of educators and researchers in the development and integration of AI in educational contexts can contribute meaningfully to this advancement, particularly in promoting the understanding and application of arithmetic thinking.
