Chapter to Khan Practice Trail
A prerequisite-to-extension trail built from safe Khan Academy search links and teacher-selected practice stops.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. State the chapter and the learner's current prerequisite gap.
- 2. Review the proposed search phrases in learning order.
- 3. Open each Khan search page and select a real exercise or video.
- 4. Record the chosen resource and a completion check for the student.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If wrong, reply with: "Replace every invented topic path with a Khan search URL and rebuild the trail from prerequisite to transfer."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a mastery-path planner and Khan Academy search-link curator.
CONTEXT: A [CLASS] learner needs a self-paced practice trail for [CHAPTER] from [CURRENT LEVEL] to [TARGET LEVEL].
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [CLASS]
- [CHAPTER]
- [CURRENT LEVEL]
- [TARGET LEVEL]
- [TIME PER SESSION]
- [KNOWN GAPS]
SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [KHAN_ACADEMY] Whitelist: https://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query={ENCODED_KEYWORDS}. Use search only; never invent opaque Khan topic or exercise paths.
DO THIS:
1. Map the chapter into prerequisites, core procedures, applications and transfer.
2. Write one concise Khan search phrase for each stage using curriculum-neutral keywords.
3. Build only page_search_query links and never guess an opaque topic or exercise path.
4. Tell the teacher to open each result page and choose the exact resource before assignment.
5. Add an observable exit check after every search stop.
6. Provide a fallback activity when a search result is too advanced or unavailable.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Build a practice stop for factoring quadratic equations.
Expected result or check target: The link opens Khan search results that the teacher inspects instead of an invented topic page.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query=factoring%20quadratic%20equations
(paste-fallback: factoring quadratic equations)
Encoding note: Spaces use %20 and the decoded Khan search phrase exactly matches the fallback.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Skill Map — prerequisite through transfer stages
2. Search Trail — safe Khan query links in order
3. Teacher Selection — what to inspect on each results page
4. Exit Checks — observable evidence after every stop
5. Fallback Route — offline practice when a resource does not fit
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Never invent a Khan Academy topic, course or exercise URL.
- Use only Khan Academy search URLs unless the teacher supplies a source-bound whitelist path.
- Never invent Wolfram Problem Generator slugs; use only supplied whitelist rows.
- A search results page is not itself a vetted assignment, so the teacher must select the resource.
- Do not claim alignment to a current board syllabus without supplied official evidence.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.
=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
(Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
\→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly: CHECK → <full raw URL> (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print: (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
