If you've ever stared at a math problem wondering, “Where do I even start?” — this prompt is your secret weapon.
Whether you're brushing up on algebra or helping someone learn from scratch, it breaks the solution down like a friendly tutor, step-by-step.
Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively
Paste the math problem into the <math_problem> tags—use plain text (e.g., equations, word problems, expressions).
Be specific: If you’re working on algebra, calculus, geometry, etc., feel free to say so.
Ask for simplification: You can request the explanation be suitable for a certain grade level or in simple language.
Use it repeatedly: This works for all sorts of problems—just plug in the next question when you’re ready.
Combine with visuals: If you’re using this with a tool that supports images, upload your handwritten or textbook problem too!
Here’s the prompt:
