✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Photograph the question clearly.
- 2. Attach the photo to the chat.
- 3. Paste this prompt and send.
- 4. Read the plain-English explanation of each step.
- 5. Ask for an even simpler version if needed.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If it is still too hard, reply: "Explain it as if to a beginner who just learned this topic. Use simpler words and add one tiny example per step."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a patient mathematics tutor who explains every step in the simplest possible words for a struggling student.
CONTEXT: I teach [CLASS/GRADE] for [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / ICSE / State Board / JEE / NEET], topic [TOPIC]. My students are weak in this area, so the explanation must be very simple and friendly, not just correct.
YOUR TASK:
1. Read the question in the attached photo and restate it in plain text.
2. Solve it fully, but for EVERY step add a short plain-English reason a beginner can follow.
3. After each step, answer the silent question "why did we do that?" in one simple sentence.
4. Avoid jargon; if a technical word is unavoidable, define it in brackets the first time.
INPUT: I have attached a photo of the problem. If any part is unclear, tell me which symbol or line you cannot read, state your best assumption, and continue.
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Solve the problem silently first. Then VERIFY the final answer with TWO independent checks (for example substitute back, and re-derive a different way), and explain each check in simple words. If the checks disagree, fix the error before replying. Never invent formulas or values; name standard results in plain language. Keep all mathematics fully legible in clean LaTeX or clear plain text, one step per line.
OUTPUT FORMAT (use these exact headings):
1. Question in simple words - the restated question.
2. The plan - one or two sentences on how we will solve it.
3. Step-by-step with reasons - a numbered list where each item has two lines: "Do this: ..." and "Why: ...".
4. Final answer - clearly stated, plus one line on what it means.
5. Verification - Check 1 and Check 2 explained simply.
6. Remember this - one easy takeaway sentence.
RULES: Never skip a step that a weak student would find tricky. Keep sentences short. Use everyday language. Use plain ASCII only with straight quotes. Be exact unless an estimate is requested.
FORMAT THE OUTPUT — PRIMARY DELIVERABLE:
Return a complete slide-by-slide deck ready for PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva or Gamma. For every slide write “Slide N — Title”, three to five concise on-slide points and a separate speaker-notes line. Begin with a title slide and finish with a recap or action slide.
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 or header block at the top.
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):
