How Socrat teaches.
Three moves, on repeat.
Find where you are
A conversation, not a test.
Build the next layer
By asking. You do the thinking.
Check that it held
Days later, with no help.
Move 1
Two questions, one idea.
Can you do it?
Find the slope through (2, 4) and (4, 10).
“3.” Yes.
Do you know what it means?
What does that 3 tell you about a growing plant?
“It's tall.” Not yet.
A jump.
So we go underneath.
Move 2
Start at the lowest broken rung.
- TopSlope formula · jump
- Start hereWhat a rate means · fragile
- FoundationUnit rate · solid
Stuck? Smaller steps.
- The question
- A nudge
- A smaller question
- A piece underneath
- A parallel example
No “show answer” button. Anywhere.
Analogies, done right.
- Only from what you know deeply
- Only when the shape matches
- Always asked as a question
- Then said again in plain math
Move 3
Then we come back.
New question each time. No help. Sleep in between.
- Nowif missed

Solid means solid.
Gap
Not on your own yet.
Fragile
With help, or just once.
Solid
Twice, on your own, days apart.
Jump
Can do it, nothing underneath.
This will feel harder than a chatbot. That's the point.
