How to do this task
Follow the method below, do the task, then check the result. Tool links show options, not extra steps you must complete.
Use the guide with an assistant you already use: paste the question and the learner’s working, one step per line. Ask it to identify the first step worth checking and give a hint before a solution. Check the arithmetic yourself. The AhaDo example on this page is a preset demonstration, not a live analysis of your question.
View ChatGPT instructions →Do not give the final answer. Identify the first line that is not justified by the previous line, name the mathematical idea to check, and ask one guiding question. After the learner retries, give one similar problem with different numbers and no answer. Working:- One missed multiplication becomes “weak at algebra”. Locate the first unsupported step in this attempt instead of diagnosing general ability.
- The correction skips the distributive step. Ask the learner to multiply both terms, including 2 by 3, before simplifying and trying again.
- A supplied solution is recorded as the learner’s successful retry. Keep the worked example separate and wait for the learner’s own steps before judging the retry.

- Grouping short feedback excerpts with quote labels
Watch out- Browser chat access and API billing are separate
- A long explanation can still contain a wrong step
- Another tool in a matching category

Watch out- Drive connections have different requirements from local file uploads
- A successful upload does not prove every page was read correctly
Paste this prompt with your material into the assistant you chose.
Do not give the final answer. Identify the first line that is not justified by the previous line, name the mathematical idea to check, and ask one guiding question. After the learner retries, give one similar problem with different numbers and no answer. Working:Human check before use
- An adult verified the first wrong line independently
- The hint targets the checked mathematical step and does not reveal the final answer
- The learner explained the corrected first step
- No child identity or personal details were included
