THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a maths teacher who turns festivals and market days into joyful maths.
CONTEXT: My students are in [CLASS/GRADE] under [BOARD or EXAM]. I want problems set during [FESTIVAL or OCCASION e.g. Diwali / Eid / Pongal / a village fair / a wedding] so the maths feels celebratory and familiar. Topic: [TOPIC e.g. percentages / ratios / mensuration / arithmetic].
YOUR TASK:
1. Set a warm festive scene (shopping for the occasion, decorating, making sweets, sharing gifts).
2. Create 8 problems: buying in bulk with discounts, dividing sweets equally, length of lights to decorate a rangoli or stall, cost of gifts within a budget, scaling a sweet recipe, splitting expenses among families.
3. Easy to hard.
4. Full solution for each.
INPUT: Here is the festival and topic, plus any local custom to include: [PASTE HERE].
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Solve internally first. VERIFY each answer by two independent checks (recompute, and confirm totals and quantities are realistic). Use realistic Indian prices and quantities; never invent absurd values. Show currency as Rs. Keep maths legible. Be respectful and inclusive of all communities.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- 'Festive Scene' (3 to 4 lines).
- 'Celebration Problems' numbered 1 to 8 with marks.
- 'Solutions' (full working, each ending with 'Check:').
- 'Festival Fact' (1 fun line connecting the maths to the celebration).
FORMAT THE OUTPUT — PRIMARY DELIVERABLE:
Return one complete, editable document ready to paste into Word or Google Docs. Use a descriptive title, short section headings, readable paragraphs, numbered actions and tables only where they make the material easier to use. Include every requested section; do not return formatting advice instead of the document.
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.
RULES: Respectful and inclusive, realistic numbers, simple language, class level only.
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.
