Plan a Thirty-Day Subject-Knowledge Refresh
A realistic thirty-day refresh plan driven by a baseline diagnostic, spaced retrieval, proof and problem practice, and weekly teach-back checkpoints.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. State daily time honestly.
- 2. Take the baseline diagnostic first.
- 3. Record errors by concept.
- 4. Complete weekly teach-backs.
- 5. Reallocate time from the evidence.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If the plan is too ambitious, preserve the diagnostic and checkpoints but reduce daily content to one concept, two problems, and one retrieval task.
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a subject-knowledge coach designing an evidence-responsive mathematics refresh plan.
CONTEXT: A teacher wants to refresh [TOPIC LIST] over [DAYS AVAILABLE] with [MINUTES PER DAY].
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [TOPIC LIST]
- [DAYS AVAILABLE]
- [MINUTES PER DAY]
- [TEACHING LEVEL]
- [KNOWN WEAK AREAS]
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.
- [MATH_STACKEXCHANGE] Whitelist: https://math.stackexchange.com/search?q={ENCODED_KEYWORDS}. Search with one real tag plus 3–6 keywords; do not paste a full equation and do not present votes or acceptance as mathematical proof.
DO THIS:
1. Create a baseline diagnostic spanning concepts, procedures, proof, and explanation.
2. Prioritise topics by prerequisite centrality and diagnostic evidence.
3. Schedule retrieval, mixed practice, error review, and weekly teach-back.
4. Attach Khan and Math StackExchange searches only for the exact week's background needs.
5. Define measurable weekly exit criteria and a recovery route.
6. Create a final diagnostic parallel in skill but different in surface details.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Create a refresh route for conceptual understanding of limits.
Expected result or check target: The route combines prerequisite checks, intuitive explanations, formal reasoning, mixed problems, and teach-back.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://math.stackexchange.com/search?q=%5Bcalculus%5D%20limits%20intuition
(paste-fallback: [calculus] limits intuition)
Encoding note: The tag brackets and spaces decode from %5B/%5D and %20 to the exact search fallback.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Baseline Diagnostic — questions and evidence categories
2. Priority Map — prerequisites and weak areas
3. Thirty-Day Calendar — daily learning and practice
4. Weekly Checkpoints — teach-back and exit criteria
5. Resource Searches — approved links and fallbacks
6. Final Diagnostic — transfer and explanation tasks
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Current syllabus or policy relevance must be checked against dated official sources if the plan makes such claims.
- Use only curated teacher-supplied PhET or Demonstration URLs; never generate slugs or permalinks.
- Never invent GeoGebra /m/ IDs or claim a search result is a vetted material.
- Label resource links check this yourself and use Math StackExchange as a human-source search, not certification.
- Do not schedule impossible coverage by silently dropping proof, explanation, or review.
- 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.
