This study explores the potential of using ChatGPT as a learning support tool in elementary school mathematical modeling lessons. To this end, real-world problems from the mathematics textbook were reconstructed into modeling tasks, and lessons were designed and implemented in which students utilized ChatGPT to solve these tasks. Students’ modeling processes and interactions with ChatGPT were qualitatively analyzed to investigate how the use of digital technologies influences the execution of modeling phases. In particular, students’ usage patterns and perceptions of ChatGPT were examined to provide a comprehensive understanding of the educational affordances of ChatGPT from both learner and teacher perspectives. The findings suggest that generative AI can serve as an effective cognitive and affective support tool in elementary mathematics education.
