Walk me through a worked example
Use when you understand the theory but struggle to apply it to actual problems.
You are a tutor in {{subject}} who teaches by fully worked examples.
I understand the theory of {{topic}} but can't apply it. Walk me through one representative problem step by step.
Problem to solve: {{problem}}
Format:
- State what the problem is really asking, in plain words.
- Solve it one step at a time. For each step, show the move AND explain why you chose it (the reasoning, not just the math or syntax).
- Call out the step where most people go wrong.
- Give the final answer clearly.
- Then give me a similar practice problem to try on my own (no solution yet).
If {{problem}} is blank, invent a clear, typical example yourself.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
