The Power of AI Lessons

Our AI understands mathematics and creates visual, step-by-step explanations that help students truly understand concepts.

  • Creates lessons in 10-30 seconds
  • Generates diagrams and visual aids
  • Provides step-by-step solutions
  • Subject-specific presets (Math, Language, General)
  • Customizable lesson structure
  • Ready to use on your canvas

How to Generate a Lesson

1

Create a New Canvas

Go to "My Materials" in your dashboard and click "New Board" to create a fresh canvas for your lesson.

💡 Tip: Give your board a meaningful name like "Grade 10 - Quadratic Equations" so you can find it easily later.

2

Open Your Canvas and Find the AI Assistant

Click on your new board to open it. You'll see the canvas workspace with the AI Assistant panel on the right side - it's always there, ready to help.

💡 Tip: The AI Assistant automatically appears when you open any canvas. Just click in the text box to start typing your lesson request.

3

Select Subject Preset & Customize Structure (Optional)

Choose a subject preset and optionally customize the lesson structure:

Available Presets:

  • Mathematics: Optimized for concepts, proofs, and problem-solving
  • Foreign Language: Focus on vocabulary, grammar, and practice
  • General Education: Flexible structure for any subject

Customize Lesson Structure:

Click the Settings button (⚙️) next to the preset selector to:

  • • View and edit the lesson sections
  • • Add or remove specific topics (one per line)
  • • Reorder sections to match your teaching style

💡 Example Math Sections:
- Introduction & Learning Objectives
- Key Mathematical Concepts
- Visual Diagrams
- Step-by-Step Examples
- Practice Exercises
- Complete Solutions

Describe What You Need

Type a clear description of the lesson you want. Be specific about the topic, grade level, and what to include.

⚠️ Important: Start with action words like "Create lesson", "Visualize", "Draw", or "Generate" to trigger visual content. Words like "Explain" or "Tell me about" will only produce chat responses without visuals.

✅ Good Prompts:

  • "Create lesson on quadratic equations with visual examples for grade 10"
  • "Visualize fractions using pizza diagrams for grade 4"
  • "Draw Pythagorean theorem with 3 practice problems and solutions"

❌ Too Vague:

  • "Math"
  • "Help with homework"
  • "Explain this" (without context)

Generate and Watch It Stream

Click "Generate Lesson" or press Enter. The AI response starts immediately and streams content directly onto your canvas in real-time.

💡 Tip: You'll see elements appearing on the canvas as they're generated. Everything is fully editable after generation - add your personal touch or adjust for your student's needs.

Understanding Credits

How Credits Work

AI lessons use credits based on complexity. You get credits with your subscription and can buy more as needed.

Simple explanation or concept2-3 credits
Standard lesson with examples5 credits
Comprehensive lesson with practice8-10 credits

Your Plan: Check your dashboard to see your current credit balance and usage history.

💰 Credit Tip: Start with shorter prompts to test ideas, then generate comprehensive lessons when needed.

Pro Tips for Better AI Lessons

Be Specific

Include grade level, prior knowledge assumed, and specific subtopics. "Quadratic equations for grade 10, focusing on factoring method" is better than just "quadratic equations".

Iterate and Refine

If the first result isn't perfect, you can ask for modifications. "Add more visual examples" or "Make it simpler" helps refine the content.

Build Templates

Save successful AI lessons as templates. You can reuse and modify them for similar topics, saving credits and time.

Troubleshooting

AI generates wrong content?

Be more specific about grade level and topic. Check for typos in your prompt.

Running out of credits?

Use shorter prompts, buy credit packs, or upgrade your subscription plan.

Content not appearing on canvas?

Wait for generation to complete (progress bar). Check your internet connection.
