NCERT Exercise Extension Ladder
A source-faithful ladder from a supplied NCERT exercise to original extension tasks and safe self-checks.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Paste the exercise text and its official location.
- 2. Supply the exact NCERT bookcode row or printed DIKSHA dial code.
- 3. Check that each extension preserves the source concept.
- 4. Assign the source exercise first and release extensions only after key review.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If wrong, reply with: "Return to the supplied exercise, remove invented codes and rebuild extensions that change reasoning rather than only numbers."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as an NCERT-grounded practice designer and source-code safety checker.
CONTEXT: A [CLASS] teacher wants to extend [NCERT EXERCISE] without losing its intended concept or fabricating source links.
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [CLASS]
- [NCERT EXERCISE]
- [EXACT EXERCISE TEXT]
- [NCERT BOOKCODE TABLE ROW]
- [DIKSHA DIAL CODE FROM BOOK]
- [EXTENSION COUNT]
SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [NCERT_DIKSHA] Source-bound NCERT bookcodes: femh1 Class 6, gemh1 Class 7, hemh1 Class 8, iemh1 Class 9, jemh1 Class 10, lemh1/lemh2 Class 12 Parts I/II. Use https://ncert.nic.in/textbook.php?{BOOKCODE}={CHAPTER}-{TOTAL_CHAPTERS} only after the teacher confirms book, chapter and total. Never invent a DIKSHA dial code; relay only a code the teacher pasted.
- [WOLFRAMALPHA] Whitelist: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i={ENCODED_PLAIN_CALCULATOR_QUERY}. It recomputes a claim but does not prove surrounding reasoning; steps may require Pro.
DO THIS:
1. Identify the concept, representation and progression already present in the supplied exercise.
2. Use only the exact NCERT bookcode table row or DIKSHA dial code supplied by the teacher.
3. Create extensions that move through variation, explanation, error analysis and transfer.
4. Label every new item ORIGINAL PRACTICE and keep it visually separate from NCERT text.
5. Solve and audit each extension without claiming official endorsement.
6. Provide a source ledger distinguishing verbatim exercise content from new material.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Check an extension item asking students to solve 2x+5=17.
Expected result or check target: The key gives x=6, while the source ledger makes clear that the item is original practice.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=solve%202x%2B5%3D17
(paste-fallback: solve 2x+5=17)
Encoding note: The encoded query round-trips exactly and checks only the extension answer, not its NCERT status.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Source Ledger — supplied NCERT location and codes
2. Concept Progression — reasoning already present
3. Extension Ladder — original tasks from variation to transfer
4. Checked Key — answers and intended reasoning
5. Boundary Note — official source versus teacher-created practice
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Never invent NCERT bookcodes, chapter parameters or DIKSHA dial codes.
- Use only teacher-supplied or centrally whitelisted source directions.
- Never invent Wolfram Problem Generator slugs or Khan topic URLs; Khan practice must use search links.
- Label all new questions ORIGINAL PRACTICE, not NCERT, PYQ or official material.
- Do not quote or reconstruct missing exercise text from memory.
- 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.
