The big idea
It's faster to just say the answer — but your sibling learns nothing. AI can prep you with the next-best question to ask instead.
Some examples
- Prompt Claude: 'Give me 5 Socratic questions to teach long division to a 9-year-old'
- Ask ChatGPT what misconception causes most kids to add denominators
- Have AI generate 3 worked examples you can walk through together
- Use Claude to suggest a hands-on activity (pizza fractions)
Try it!
Pick one topic your sibling is stuck on. Ask Claude for 5 Socratic questions. Try them this evening — count how many minutes the lesson takes.
