Before lesson one
Plan a focused first session
Specific evidence gives Mariam a better starting point than a broad request to teach the whole subject. Use this four-part setup.
-
Arrive with evidence
Bring a problem, diagram, dataset, observation, formula, source, or explanation you are unsure about. A real sample gives Mariam something concrete to diagnose.
-
Define one result
Aim for one solved problem, tested explanation, diagram, or evidence-backed conclusion. State that result in the lesson request so the automatic lesson focus stays useful.
-
Attempt before the model
Show what you currently think or can do. Ask for a hint or question before requesting the completed answer.
-
Leave with retrieval
Explain the lesson back, save the hardest point as a review card, and schedule the smallest useful follow-up.
Choose the right lesson mode
Text chat
Checking steps, formulas, evidence, definitions, and written scientific explanations.
Paste the exact material and state the feedback format you want.Voice call

Collaborative classroom
Use each classroom tool with a purpose
The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Mariam can work with Whiteboard, Canvas, HTML, Document, Code Editor, Quiz, and Homework when each format helps. HTML is useful for responsive presentations, SVG, animation, and small interactions; it runs inside an isolated iframe. Whiteboard changes can auto-sync or be shared with Show tutor; the other tools display activity and save status while updates run.
Whiteboard
ClassroomSeparate knowns, unknowns, units, assumptions, mechanisms, and evidence before calculating or concluding.
Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Mariam can respond to the current board.Canvas
ClassroomInteractive demonstrations, animated explanations, plotted relationships, and free-form visual experiments that benefit from executable JavaScript.
Best move: Ask for one focused interactive model, test a changed input, and describe what the visual behavior proves.Document
ClassroomRecord the governing idea, the point where reasoning failed, and one transfer question that tests the same concept differently. Build a clear derivation, lab explanation, research note, or design rationale with claims tied to calculations and sources.
Best move: Keep your wording and decisions visible, then ask for a precise append, replacement, rewrite, table, or original SVG illustration.Quiz
ClassroomSolve one representative problem with hints, explain each decision, then attempt a changed case without the scaffold. Create review cards for definitions, mechanisms, assumptions, units, and the decisions that connect them.
Best move: Attempt each question before asking for help, then ask Mariam to adjust the next quiz around the mistakes that matter most.Homework
ClassroomLight checks, harvest notes, drying experiments, and kitchen-use reflections.
Best move: Agree on one realistic assignment, complete it after class, and reopen the saved work with Mariam in a later lesson.Mariam's methods
