Worked Example With Error Traps

Structured brief

Learn a method through a solved problem and common mistakes.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Teach me how to solve [PROBLEM_TYPE] through one fully worked example, then test me.

Subject and level: [SUBJECT_AND_LEVEL].

Part 1, worked example: pick a typical problem. Solve it in numbered steps. After each step, add a line "Why:" that gives the reason, not just the action.

Part 2, error traps: list the four most common mistakes students make on this type of problem. For each, show a wrong solution fragment, mark exactly where it goes wrong, and give the correction.

Part 3, a similar problem for me: write one new problem that uses the same method but different numbers or context. Do not solve it. Wait for me to try.

Part 4, a harder variant: describe, without solving it, what changes if one condition in the problem changes.

When I send my attempt, check each step, say where my reasoning first went wrong, and tell me whether I should repeat this type or move on. Use plain language and show formulas in text.
