Research on the Design and Implementation of a Visualization Tool for Primary School Mathematics Based on Mermaid Syntax and Artificial Intelligence

Helping primary school students visualize abstract mathematical concepts remains a significant challenge. This study presents the design and implementation of an automated visualization tool to address this issue. The tool operates by leveraging an artificial intelligence (AI) to convert text-based math problems or concepts into Mermaid syntax. This process automatically generates intuitive diagrams like flowcharts and mind maps. The research focuses on the system's architecture and a user-friendly interface, ensuring the tool is practical and accessible for teachers. Results show the tool can generate accurate visual aids, enhancing teaching effectiveness and enriching learning materials. This work offers a tangible solution, applying existing technology to meet the demands of digital transformation in education.
