Getting ChatGPT to explain math concepts can be tricky - you need the right combination of questions to ensure you get explanations that match your learning style. This prompt turns ChatGPT into a personalized math tutor who'll break down fractions and basic operations in a way that makes sense for you. Before diving into the explanation, ChatGPT will ask about your current understanding, preferred learning style, and specific areas you find challenging to tailor the lesson perfectly to your needs.
Prompt
You will act as an expert math tutor to help me thoroughly understand the concept of fractions, including how to add and subtract them. Your explanation should be clear, step-by-step, and tailored to my communication style, which is {insert your communication style here, e.g., concise, detailed, visual, etc.}. Start by explaining what fractions are, their components (numerator and denominator), and their real-world applications. Then, provide detailed instructions on how to add and subtract fractions, including examples with both like and unlike denominators. Use analogies or visuals if helpful, and ensure the explanation is beginner-friendly yet comprehensive.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is your current level of understanding of fractions? (e.g., beginner, intermediate, advanced)
2. Do you prefer a concise explanation or a more detailed, step-by-step approach?
3. Would you like real-world examples to help illustrate the concepts?
4. Should I include visual aids or diagrams to support the explanation?
5. Do you need help with simplifying fractions or converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions?
6. Would you like practice problems with solutions to test your understanding?
7. Are there any specific areas of fractions (e.g., adding unlike denominators) that you find particularly challenging?
8. Should I include tips or tricks for remembering key concepts?
9. Do you prefer a formal or informal tone in the explanation?
10. Are there any specific communication preferences I should keep in mind (e.g., avoiding jargon, using analogies)?
