“I understood the explanation. Why am I still stuck?”

Getting the answer right doesn’t always mean you understand it.

What you tried can reveal where you need help. Here, a small mistake gives the learner and teacher something specific to work through.

  1. 01 · The attempt

    96 × 98 = 948

    “94 on the left. 8 on the right.”

    The working reveals a place-value slip.
  2. 02 · A useful nudge

    Meet Vidya, your teacher-guided AI learning buddy.

    “Base 100 leaves two places on the right. How would you write eight?”

    Example Vidya response · AI assistance
  3. 03 · The next attempt

    94 | 08

    “The zero keeps the place. 9408.”

    The learner makes the correction.

And the teacher has something to respond to. When the learner submits or shares their work, the teacher can address the exact slip and guide the next practice.

98 × 97. Ten seconds.

Try it in your head before you continue.

Ordinary multiplication works. But can you see a quicker route because both numbers are close to 100?

\[(100 - 2)(100 - 3)\]

Now reveal the shortcut

Each number is only a small distance below 100: 98 is 2 below, and 97 is 3 below. Those distances are called deficits.

Cross-subtract one deficit from the other factor to make the left block: 98 − 3 = 95. Multiply the two deficits for the right block: 2 × 3 = 6.

With Base 100, the right block always keeps two places. Write 6 as 06, then join the blocks: 95 | 06 = 9506.

\[95 \mid 06 = 9506\]

Numbers above 100 use the same rhythm. Their distances are surpluses, and cross-subtraction becomes cross-addition. In both cases, the two blocks keep the structure of the answer visible while you work.

When learning has somewhere to continue

Keep the thinking. Make the next attempt count.

Understanding takes shape as you practise, question, make connections, and try again. A Workbook gives that work a place to continue, with guidance shaped by the teacher who prepared it.

Attempt Response Next step

If you learn

Keep learning between lessons.

Revisit an explanation, ask for help where you’re stuck, and try again at your own pace. Follow an expert’s Workbook, with practice and guidance they have prepared, or build a private one to work through your own material.

If you teach

Illustrative view

Your teaching can reach beyond the lesson.

Prepare explanations and practice your learners can return to between lessons. Shape Vidya’s guidance around your approach, then review submitted work and respond where your learners need you.

Ananya · 96 × 98 Place value, not multiplication. Suggested response: revisit the two-place block

Your subject. Your way into it.

Bring something worth working on.

A physics explanation. A recording to listen to closely. A problem that needs another try. Build a Workbook from material you own or may use, and give yourself—or your learners—room to explore it.

Private by design

Room to think before you share.

You need room to make mistakes and work things out. In your Workbook, private notes and unsubmitted working stay private. You can see who will receive work before you submit or share it.

Ananya sees Private notes and working are hers.

She chooses when to submit work or share it. Each conversation shows who can see it.

What happened to what I just did in the miniature?

The preview keeps answers and scratchpad work only in this tab, until refresh. Its conversations are fixed examples. Join a Workbook to keep your work and participate.

Does Vidya answer the work for me?

Vidya’s role is to help you think through the next step. Your teacher decides where AI helps—and where you need room to think independently. They set her instructions and the parts of the Workbook where she can help.

Can I build from any material?

From material you own or may use: video, audio, PDFs, worksheets, study guides, exams, discussion and live teaching.

Who can see my work?

Private notes and unsubmitted working are yours. Submitted work is visible to your teaching team. Sharing and conversation audiences are disclosed before you contribute.

Is a Workbook self-paced or cohort-based?

Both are possible. Work through an expert’s Workbook at your own pace or learn with a cohort. You can also build a private Workbook for your own study.
