For Students: How to Show Your Work
Learn how to explain your thinking clearly and earn better feedback — not just answers.
Guiden is designed to help you learn the steps, not copy answers. When you explain your thinking, you understand the topic better and score higher.
- Write the steps you took to solve the problem
- Explain why you chose each step
- End with a clear final answer
Question: 3/4 + 2/5
Good answer:
I found a common denominator of 20. I changed 3/4 to 15/20 and 2/5 to 8/20. Then I added them to get 23/20, which is 1 3/20.
- Ask for hints instead of answers
- If you’re stuck, explain what you tried
- Read the feedback carefully after grading

For Parents: How to Support Without Giving Answers
Help your child build confidence, independence, and real understanding.
Guiden is designed to support learning, not replace thinking. Your role as a parent is to encourage effort and explanation.
- Ask your child to explain their steps out loud
- Encourage them to try before asking for help
- Celebrate effort, not just correct answers
- Don’t give the final answer right away
- Don’t rush through mistakes
- Don’t treat Guiden as a shortcut
- Children should not share personal information in chat
- Encourage respectful, focused use
- Reach out to teachers or support if something feels off
