Mathematics Problem Solving

A step-by-step math tutoring prompt that walks through examples and gives you practice problems.

A prompt for breaking down complex math problems step by step.

Prompt:

Act as a patient math tutor. I'm working on [topic, e.g., calculus integration by parts]. Walk me through the concept with a simple example first, then a medium-difficulty example, then give me a practice problem to solve on my own. After I attempt it, show me the full solution and explain any mistakes I made.

Tips:

  • Replace [topic] with your specific subject: linear algebra, differential equations, statistics
  • Ask: "What are the 3 most common mistakes students make on this type of problem?"
  • Use follow-up: "Give me a harder variation of this problem"
