Solving equations
Use inverse operations to solve linear equations. Explain why each step keeps both sides equal.
Keep your work open. Ask Jade when you’re stuck.
Jade points to what matters and explains it out loud.
A good question changes things
The best kind of help
leaves the thinking to you.
On the student’s side
Knows you.
Understands you.
Helps you.
Jade sees the page you’re working on, remembers what helped you before and finds your next step. A question. A visual hint. A different example.
On any computer. In your own time.
Solving equations
Find the value of x.
3x + 5 = 20
− 5− 5
3x = 15
x =
jadeA little help
Stuck on where to start?
What would undo the +5?
Subtract 5Add 5
That’s your first step.
Keep both sides balanced. What could you do next?Balancing equations
Balance the equation.
H2 + O2 → H2O
H2 + O2 → 2H2O
jadeA little help
Not sure what to count?
How many oxygen atoms in O2, and in H2O?
2 and 11 and 1
That’s what to fix.
You can’t change H2O itself, only how many there are.Thesis statements
Revise your thesis so it makes a claim.
In this essay I will talk about social media and teens.
Social media hurts teens’ sleep.

Not sure what to change?
Does “I will talk about” say what you think?
Not reallyYes
So that’s the part to change.
Say what you believe about social media, and why.The thought behind the hint

For teachers
Your teaching.
A closer connection.
Understand who’s stuck in class. See how each student works with Jade, how they grow, and who needs more of your help. Share your class materials and Jade teaches the way you do.
Stay connected with every student, even when you can’t be beside them.

Learning notes
Solid on one-step equations. Two-step ones are new this week, and the first move is where it stalls.
Riley’s responseStill stuck
A few good questions
Glad you
asked.
Where does Jade work?
In Chrome, as an extension: students ask for help from the page they’re already studying, and Jade points and explains there. On a Mac or a Windows PC, a desktop app does the same over anything on screen. A Chromebook needs only the extension.
Will it give students the answer?
Jade is designed to guide the thinking: a question, a visual hint, or a different worked example. It is instructed and tested never to give the answer, and it does not fill in or submit the student’s work.
What can teachers see?
The task a student asked about, the guidance Jade delivered, and whether the student said it helped. Learning notes add context over time. These are conversation records, not grades or mastery scores.
Can we use our own curriculum?
Yes. Add your syllabus and class materials to give Jade course context, so the guidance connects with what you’re teaching.
