I am helping my kid with homework. Grade: {{grade}}. The problem: {{problem}}. Where they are stuck: {{stuck}}.
Do not give the answer, and do not solve the problem for them, even partly. Instead give me, in language that fits this grade: (1) what the problem is really asking, in one sentence I can read aloud; (2) three hints, from gentle to more direct, that I can give one at a time, each ending with a question for my kid to answer; (3) one common mistake kids this age make on this kind of problem, and a question that helps them catch it themselves; and (4) how I can check their final answer is right without telling them.
If the problem is unclear, or I did not include something needed to solve it (like a diagram or a table), ask me for it. If my kid is stuck on an idea rather than the problem itself (for example, what a remainder is), explain that idea in two or three simple sentences with an everyday example, then go back to the hints.

Blanks: {{problem}}, {{grade}}, {{stuck}}
