AI 3 Reads Protocol Generator for High School
High school math and science problems demand rigorous sense-making before calculation. The 3 Reads Protocol structures that sense-making, separating the context, the quantities, and the mathematical question into three purposeful reads. The generator gives complete protocols for algebra, precalculus, statistics, physics, and chemistry word problems.

How high school teachers use this
Algebra and function application problems
Generate protocols for algebra word problems where students must model a real situation with an equation or function. The third read on quantities is the key step, identifying which quantity is the input and which is the output.
Statistics and probability scenarios
Statistics problems embed complex contextual scenarios. The protocol separates reading comprehension from statistical reasoning so students understand the study design before evaluating statistical claims.
Physics problem setup
Physics word problems require precise quantity identification, speed vs. velocity, force vs. acceleration, energy vs. power. The 3 Reads Protocol's third read addresses this precision before any formula application.
Chemistry stoichiometry problems
Stoichiometry problems require identifying molar quantities, limiting reagents, and theoretical yields. Generate a protocol that separates the chemical scenario from the calculation setup.
Calculus related rates
Related rates problems are notoriously hard to set up. The protocol's third read on quantities (identifying which rates are given and which is unknown) is the essential step before any differentiation.
AP exam free-response practice
Use the protocol for AP-level free-response practice problems to build careful reading habits on multi-part problems where misreading the question is a common error.

Questions teachers ask
How does the 3 Reads Protocol help with AP free-response questions?
AP free-response problems are multi-part and require careful reading to understand what each part is asking. The protocol builds the habit of reading the entire problem before starting, identifying all the quantities and all the questions asked. Students who rush to part (a) often miss information in part (c) that changes how (a) should be interpreted.
Can I use the protocol for problems from textbooks or other sources?
Yes. Paste any problem text from any source and the AI generates a protocol specific to that problem. With Improve with AI on, the protocol is grounded in the specific language and quantities of the problem you paste, not a generic template.
How does the third read work for problems that have multiple questions?
For multi-part problems, the third read lists the facts, and you can change it to ask students to generate the questions they could ask about the situation, then reveal the actual multi-part question. Students who generated similar questions are primed for the actual parts; students whose generated questions differed understand why their initial framing was incomplete.
Does the protocol work for problems with diagrams or graphs?
Yes. For problems that include visual information, you can add a diagram annotation step to the third read, asking students to label the quantities visible in the diagram. You can add a space for the diagram sketch and quantity labels to the graphic organizer.
How does this work in a class where students are at different mathematical levels?
The protocol is a sense-making tool, not an assessment. All students participate in the same three reads, the discussion reveals who is identifying quantities correctly and who is not, which is useful formative information. Students who struggle with the setup often have the calculation skills once the problem is properly understood.
