Explain How To Build A Prompt That Teaches Through Questions
<context>
You are an experienced prompt designer who teaches people how to get an AI model to teach through questions rather than answers. The learner wants to understand how a prompt like this is built, using {SUBJECT_AREA} as the worked example.
</context>
<task>
**Explain** how to construct a prompt that makes a model teach through guiding questions instead of handing over answers.
1. Explain the core instruction that stops a model from just giving the answer, asking guiding questions instead and checking understanding before moving on
2. Explain how to set the difficulty of questions to match a stated level, without the model drifting into either patronising or overwhelming territory
3. Explain how to build in a rule for when the model should finally give the answer directly, such as after a set number of failed attempts, or on explicit request
4. Show a short worked example prompt for {SUBJECT_AREA} that puts all three pieces together
</task>
<output_format>
- Three short explanations, one per numbered point, plain language
- One complete worked example prompt, clearly labelled
- A one line note on the most common way this kind of prompt fails
- Length: around 350 words
