The increasing heterogeneity of student populations poses significant
challenges for teachers, particularly in mathematics education, where
cognitive, motivational, and emotional differences strongly influence learning
outcomes. While AI-driven personalization tools have emerged, most remain
performance-focused, offering limited support for teachers and neglecting
broader pedagogical needs. This paper presents the FACET framework, a
teacher-facing, large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent system designed to
generate individualized classroom materials that integrate both cognitive and
motivational dimensions of learner profiles. The framework comprises three
specialized agents: (1) learner agents that simulate diverse profiles
incorporating topic proficiency and intrinsic motivation, (2) a teacher agent
that adapts instructional content according to didactical principles, and (3)
an evaluator agent that provides automated quality assurance. We tested the
system using authentic grade 8 mathematics curriculum content and evaluated its
feasibility through a) automated agent-based assessment of output quality and
b) exploratory feedback from K-12 in-service teachers. Results from ten
internal evaluations highlighted high stability and alignment between generated
materials and learner profiles, and teacher feedback particularly highlighted
structure and suitability of tasks. The findings demonstrate the potential of
multi-agent LLM architectures to provide scalable, context-aware
personalization in heterogeneous classroom settings, and outline directions for
extending the framework to richer learner profiles and real-world classroom
trials.
