How Teachers Can Create Custom Worksheets Using AI

Creating Custom Classroom Resources Has Never Been Easier

Teachers often face challenges when preparing tailored worksheets, quizzes, or activities—whether it’s finding the right content, aligning with curriculum standards, or simply having enough time to create high-quality materials from scratch.

This is where AI and TeachShare come in to simplify the process.

This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to generate custom, classroom-ready teaching resources using two effective methods:

• TeachShare’s AI Resource Creator – A dedicated tool designed specifically for educators, allowing you to quickly generate high-quality, curriculum-aligned worksheets, quizzes, and other materials tailored to your lesson objectives.

• ChatGPT (Manual Prompting) – An alternative method for generating teaching resources using detailed custom prompts for more hands-on control and creativity.

Let’s start by exploring the more efficient and educator-friendly option: TeachShare’s AI Resource Creator.

Step 3: Customize Your Resource Topic, Grade, and Tone

Now it's time to tell TeachShare exactly what you need.

In the field at the top, enter your topic—for example, “History of the Solar System” or “Understanding Fractions”.
Then, select the grade level and tone (narrative or informative) you’d like the resource to have.

You can also optionally add:

• Learning outcomes – What you want students to understand or achieve (e.g., “Identify key phases of the Moon”)
  
  

• Curriculum standards – Click “Select Standards” to align the content with specific educational frameworks if needed.
  
  

Once everything looks good, click the arrow button to begin generating your custom resource!

Step 4: Choose a Template That Fits Your Lesson Goal

Once your topic is submitted, TeachShare will suggest tailor-made templates based on what you’re teaching.

Each template is designed to match different instructional needs. You can choose from options like:

• Problems & Solutions – Great for helping students break down challenges and brainstorm solutions.
  
  

• Main Idea by Passage – Ideal for reading comprehension and identifying central themes.
  
  

• Compare and Contrast – Perfect for analyzing similarities and differences using a clear, structured format.

Not seeing what you need? You can always click “More templates” to explore additional formats, or hit “Edit topic” if you want to adjust your input.

Once you’ve selected the template that best fits your lesson objective, click the “Create Resource” button to start generating your custom worksheet.

Step 5: Watch the Magic Happen!

Once you hit “Create Resource,” TeachShare gets to work—fast. You’ll see a playful loading screen (like this one!) while the AI builds your personalized worksheet based on the topic, tone, and grade you chose.

In just a few seconds, your custom teaching resource will be ready to review, edit, and use in class.

Step 6: Review, Edit, and Personalize Your Resource

Your custom resource is ready! Now you can fine-tune every part of the worksheet:

• Change the content if you want to regenerate the passage or switch topics.
  
  

• Edit grade level or complexity to match your students’ needs.
  
  

• Customize individualization options, such as learning outcomes or curriculum standards.
  
  

• Use tools on the left panel to add text, shapes, icons, images, and more.

  
  

Once you’re happy with your design, you can click “Share with students” to distribute a digital version, collect submissions, enable auto-grading, and get insights into your students’ work—all within TeachShare. Prefer another platform? You can also upload your resource directly to Google Classroom.

With TeachShare, generating a worksheet is only the first step. What really sets it apart is what you can do after your resource is created.

How to Create Teaching Resources Using ChatGPT 

If you don’t have access to a specialized education platform like TeachShare, you can still use general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT to generate worksheets, prompts, and activities. The key is crafting effective, structured prompts.

Step 1: Start with a Clear Goal
Define what kind of resource you want to make—worksheet, quiz, reading passage, etc.—and what you want students to learn.

Example Goal:

 “I want a 5th-grade reading comprehension worksheet about ecosystems.”

Step 2: Build a Specific Prompt
Structure your prompt to include topic, grade level, tone, type of activity, and any required standards or learning outcomes.

Prompt Template:
“Create a [grade]-level [resource type] on [topic], written in a [tone] tone. Include [specific features like multiple choice questions, vocabulary, diagrams, etc.]. Align with [learning goal or standard].”

Step 3: Refine Through Conversation
Use follow-up prompts to revise or expand the output:

• “Add more challenging vocabulary.”
  
  

• “Make the questions multiple choice.”
  
  

• “Adjust the reading level to be easier.”
  
  

Step 4: Format for Classroom Use
Copy and paste the content into Google Docs or Word, adjust layout, add images if needed, and print or assign digitally.
