Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an AI-powered Chatbot that offers coherent and useful responses based on a large volume of data. In this article, academicians, researchers, scientists, and engineers discussed the Effective and Transformative Role of ChatGPT in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in Schools, which is aimed at enhancing students’ learning experience in mathematics classrooms. The study looked at the opportunities of the ChatGPT model in mathematics education, the prospects of ChatGPT in mathematics education, the cue of ChatGPT for future pedagogical approaches, and the constraints and worries of the ChatGPT model in mathematics education. Our preliminary evaluation indicated that ChatGPT performs effectively in different subject areas, including finance, coding, and mathematics. ChatGPT has the ability to help mathematics educators to create instructional content, offer suggestions, and act as an online educator to students by answering questions, transforming education through smartphones and IoT gadgets, and promoting group work. There are possible and clear drawbacks in its implementation, such as the possibility of producing inaccurate or false data and circumventing duplicate content (plagiarism) detectors where originality is essential. What ChatGPT lacks is a stochastic measure to help provide sincere and sensitive communication with its users. Academic regulations and evaluation practices used in educational institutions need to be updated when ChatGPT is being used as a tool in education. To address the transformative effects of ChatGPT on the learning environment, educating teachers and students alike about its capabilities and limitations will be crucial.
