In recent years, with the continuous development of technology, AI technology has gradually improved and can be applied to various aspects of life and learning, especially in promoting continuous education reform, playing a crucial role. The impact of AI on mathematics education, particularly in terms of teaching strategies for primary and secondary school teachers and improving the mathematics performance of students from diverse socioeconomic status backgrounds, is explored in this review. Through a systematic literature of 8 relevant studies in Google Scholar and Scopus from 2015 to 2025, this paper identifies the AI tools impacting mathematics education. This paper fully demonstrates the purpose of the research report through surveys and interviews with different research subjects, combined with experiments such as table and figure. Key findings suggest that AI could enhance the teachers teaching strategies, improve teaching quality and assist the students in improving their mathematics performance, especially those from low socioeconomic status backgrounds. The study indicates that questionnaires were primarily used to compare the students of diverse socioeconomic status backgrounds and teachers of different school grades, who were the most significant participants in the reviewed papers. Additionally, this review discusses the application trends and profound impact of AI on education.
