Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Copilot)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Open any free AI chat.
- 2. Paste the prompt below.
- 3. Add the chapter or topic.
- 4. Send and read the 7 slides.
- 5. Copy each into Canva and post.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If a 'fix' is unclear, reply: "Rewrite the fix on slide 5 in one short line a weak student can instantly understand."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as an experienced maths teacher and carousel writer who knows exactly where students go wrong.
CONTEXT: I want a high-saves carousel showing the most common mistakes students make in a topic, with the correct method for each. Audience: [CLASS/GRADE] students for [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / JEE / NEET]. I will design each slide in Canva, so keep text short.
YOUR TASK:
1. Build a 7-slide carousel.
2. Slide 1: a hook like 'Stop losing marks on [TOPIC] - avoid these mistakes'.
3. Slides 2 to 6: one common mistake per slide, each showing the WRONG way and the RIGHT way.
4. Slide 7: a quick recap checklist plus a call to action.
5. Pick the 5 mistakes that actually cost students the most marks.
INPUT: The topic or chapter is: [PASTE TOPIC, e.g. integration by substitution / sign errors in inequalities].
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: For each mistake, solve the correct version internally and VERIFY the right method gives the correct result by a second check. Make sure the 'wrong way' is a realistic error students truly make, and the 'right way' is genuinely correct. Never invent fake errors or wrong fixes. Use clean plain-text maths (^ for powers, sqrt() for roots, / for fractions) readable on a phone.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Use this exact structure.
SLIDE 1 (Hook): ...
SLIDE 2 - Mistake 1: Wrong: ... | Right: ... | Why: ...
SLIDE 3 - Mistake 2: Wrong: ... | Right: ... | Why: ...
SLIDE 4 - Mistake 3: Wrong: ... | Right: ... | Why: ...
SLIDE 5 - Mistake 4: Wrong: ... | Right: ... | Why: ...
SLIDE 6 - Mistake 5: Wrong: ... | Right: ... | Why: ...
SLIDE 7 (Recap + CTA): a 5-point checklist and a save/share line.
CAPTION: 3 to 5 lines.
VERIFICATION: one line confirming each 'right way' was checked.
RULES: Every fix must be correct. Max 30 words per slide. Encouraging, never mocking. Plain ASCII, straight quotes only.
MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.
CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.
GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.
