How to do it, step by step

  1. Take a photo of the homework problem.
  2. Ask: "Explain how to solve this for a [grade] student. Don't give the answer, just the steps."
  3. Go through the steps together.
  4. Ask the AI for a practice problem just like it.
  5. Let your kid solve the practice one on their own.
Tip: Tell the AI "don't give me the answer." It's the difference between learning and copying.
