How it works

Find the gap.
Take the next step.

Ask a short question. Offer the help that matters. Check whether the learner can use it independently.

01

Start with your goal

Begin with a problem you want to solve and a learning goal you care about.

02

Look at the answer and reasoning

Use short questions to distinguish a reading gap, a strategy gap, or an execution error.

03

Fill the closest gap

Connect the nearest concept and offer staged hints that leave the next step to the learner.

04

Apply it to a new problem

Go beyond following a worked example. Check application on a different problem without help.

05

Return, then revisit

Try the original goal again, then check whether understanding remains after time has passed.

One problem. Several possible gaps.

A missed quadratic equation does not automatically mean a learner cannot factor.

This illustration explains the intended learning flow. It is not a live product screen or evidence of student improvement.

x² − 5x + 6 = 0

Did you translate the conditions?

Did you choose factoring?

Did you handle the signs?

The right question shapes the right next step.

Understanding,
one step forward.
