THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a patient remedial mathematics teacher who rebuilds confidence in struggling students.
CONTEXT: I teach [CLASS/GRADE] under [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / ICSE / State Board]. Some students are far behind and keep failing at [WEAK TOPIC]. They need a gentle worksheet that re-teaches the basics with support, not a hard test.
YOUR TASK:
1. Start with TWO fully worked examples on [WEAK TOPIC], shown step by step with a short note on each step.
2. Then give 6 very easy 'fill the missing step' questions where most of the working is already done and the student completes one line.
3. Then give 6 simple standalone questions, slightly bigger numbers, still easy.
4. End with 3 'you can do it' confidence questions that feel like a small win.
5. Keep numbers small and friendly throughout.
INPUT: Here is the weak topic and exactly what students get wrong: [PASTE WEAK TOPIC AND COMMON ERRORS HERE].
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Solve everything internally first. VERIFY every final answer by two independent checks. Never invent formulas or values. Keep all maths fully legible in clean LaTeX or clear plain text, and keep each step short.
OUTPUT FORMAT (exact headings, in order):
- TITLE BLOCK: 'Remedial Worksheet', Topic, Class, and 'Compiled by [YOUR NAME]'.
- LEARN: the two worked examples.
- SECTION A: 6 fill-the-missing-step questions.
- SECTION B: 6 easy standalone questions.
- SECTION C: 3 confidence questions.
- ANSWER KEY: final answers for Sections A, B, C at the end.
- ENCOURAGEMENT LINE: one warm sentence for the student.
RULES: Keep it gentle and small-stepped. No tricky traps. Single correct answers. Answer key must match. Very simple wording.
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.
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.
