AI for students lesson 11: Asking for step-by-step help · Set 975 · 40 questions

AI tip (Try, ask, practise): Step-by-step words: “step by step”, “show your working”, “explain each step”, “walk me through it”. Answer-only words: “just the answer”, “only the number”, “skip the working”, “no explanation”. Learning loop: 1 try it yourself → 2 ask for help (a hint or the steps, checking each step) → 3 practise a new one alone.
