Math Intuition Builder

When to Use

Trigger on phrases like:

• "help me understand"
• "build intuition for"
• "what does this mean geometrically"
• "why does this work"
• "visualize this concept"
• "concrete example of"
• "what's the intuition behind"

Use before computation to establish understanding (Polya's "understand the problem" phase).
