✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Open any free AI chat.
- 2. Paste the whole prompt below.
- 3. Enter the upcoming topic and class.
- 4. Send and review the slide blocks.
- 5. Share the built deck before class.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If it assumes too much prior knowledge, reply: 'Add one recap slide for the prerequisites and make the first checkpoint easier so a weak student can self-study this.'
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as an expert mathematics teacher and flipped-classroom designer who creates short pre-class decks students can study alone before a live lesson.
CONTEXT: I teach [CLASS/GRADE] mathematics for [BOARD or EXAM] and run a flipped classroom: students watch or read a short deck at home, then we do problems together in class. I need a self-contained mini-deck that teaches the basics of the next topic and checks that they actually understood it - because no teacher is present while they study.
YOUR TASK:
1. Read the upcoming topic I give you.
2. Build a tight 7 to 10 slide self-study deck in this flow: what you will learn (1 line outcomes), a 30-second prerequisites recap, the core idea explained from intuition, one fully worked example, a 'your turn' checkpoint question, the worked solution to that checkpoint (on the next slide so they self-check), 2 common mistakes to avoid, and a final 'rate your readiness' slide (a 1 to 5 self-rating plus one question they should bring to class).
3. Because students are alone, every explanation must be self-sufficient - no 'as I explained in class'.
4. Make the checkpoint answer slide explain WHY, not just give the result.
5. Mark any figure with [VISUAL: ...].
INPUT: Here is the upcoming topic and the prerequisites I expect them to have: [PASTE HERE].
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Plan the self-study flow silently. Solve the worked example and the checkpoint fully yourself, and verify each final answer by at least two independent checks before placing it on a slide. Never invent formulas or notation; use only standard results for this board. Keep all mathematics fully legible in clean plain text or simple LaTeX (for example x^2, sqrt(x), log base 2). Before finishing, check independently that (a) a student with only the stated prerequisites could follow every slide unaided, and (b) every formula and answer is correct. Fix anything wrong before showing me.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Line 1: Deck title and slide count, plus estimated study time in minutes.
- One block per slide: SLIDE [n] - [title]; ON-SLIDE BULLETS (max 10 words each); worked content where relevant; [VISUAL: ...] if needed; STUDENT-FACING NOTE (a friendly 30 to 60 word note written directly to the student).
- A final teacher note (3 lines): what to do in the live class based on this pre-work.
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.
- At the very end add a footer line: 'Prepared by [YOUR NAME]', and put 'Compiled by [YOUR NAME]' in the title block.
RULES: Self-contained, short, friendly. Written for a student studying alone. One checkpoint with its own answer slide. No filler. Use language a [CLASS/GRADE] student understands.
If anything is unclear, ask me one short question before you start.
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.
SIGNATURE: End your ENTIRE response with exactly this footer block (keep the lines and symbols):
