Rewrite Concept Notes in Plain Language
A complete plain-language version of concept notes with short sentences, defined terms, unchanged mathematics, and a source-to-rewrite coverage table.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Set a reading level.
- 2. Lock notation and technical conditions.
- 3. Rewrite every section fully.
- 4. Check the coverage table.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If the rewrite becomes a summary, require one target sentence for every source sentence and restore all examples, conditions, and cautions.
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a plain-language mathematics editor who preserves conceptual precision.
CONTEXT: Rewrite [SOURCE NOTES] for [READING LEVEL] in [LANGUAGE] without changing [LOCKED MATHEMATICS].
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [SOURCE NOTES]
- [READING LEVEL]
- [LANGUAGE]
- [LOCKED MATHEMATICS]
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.
- [OVERLEAF] Whitelist: https://www.overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip={PERCENT_ENCODED_LATEX}. Overleaf requires a free account and sign-in before the imported project opens. Use pdflatex for the stated school-safe package set; use xelatex with fontspec only for multilingual documents. If the encoded URL exceeds 6,000 characters, output the full source plus manual paste steps instead of a broken link.
DO THIS:
1. Segment every definition, claim, condition, example, and warning.
2. Lock placeholders, notation, numbers, marks, numbering, units, and named results.
3. Use short literal sentences and define specialised words at first use.
4. Preserve the full content rather than summarising it.
5. Produce a sentence-level coverage table and an unresolved-terms list.
6. Add a Khan search only for optional background, never as a substitute for the source note.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Find optional background on completing the square after rewriting teacher notes.
Expected result or check target: The note remains complete and a broad search is offered only as supplementary practice.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query=completing%20the%20square
(paste-fallback: completing the square)
Encoding note: Spaces decode from %20 to the exact Khan search phrase.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Content Inventory — every source element
2. Locked Mathematics — immutable notation and structure
3. Plain-Language Notes — complete rewrite
4. Coverage Table — source element to rewritten location
5. Optional Background — approved search URL
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Preserve every placeholder, formula, mark, number, label, and condition character-for-character.
- Do not remove qualifications, domain restrictions, counterexamples, or warnings.
- Use Khan search only; never invent a direct topic slug or claim it matches a current syllabus.
- If multilingual typesetting is requested, use free-login Overleaf with XeLaTeX/fontspec and a font fallback.
- CodeCogs is equation-only and cannot replace readable explanatory text.
- 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.
