How To Create Math Worksheets with AI


Hey fellow math teachers!! Let me just say this up front: I used to spend way too much time making math worksheets. Like, I’d be tweaking a single word problem at 11:47 PM, knowing full well I had a 7:30 AM hall duty the next day. Sound familiar? This year, I started using TeachShare, and honestly, it’s changed everything about how I prep. If you’re looking to make your math planning easier (and keep your Sunday evenings intact), here’s exactly how I use TeachShare to create classroom-ready math worksheets in minutes.


Why AI Actually Works for Math Teachers (If It’s Built Right)


I’ve tried using other tools before, and while they can technically make worksheets, I always had to:

  • Rewrite half the questions

  • Check for weird formatting

  • Manually add standards and directions (Oh, and let’s not talk about the time it gave me the wrong answer key…)

TeachShare however is a totally different story. It’s built for teachers. It actually thinks like we do with scaffolds, real practice structure, and even warm-ups and exit tickets.


Well I think I've hyped it up enough. Let me walk you through how I use it to build math worksheets for my 6th graders (though it works for any grade or subject).


Step-by-Step: How I Build Math Worksheets in TeachShare


Step 1: Log Into TeachShare and Launch the Creator

I start by heading to my dashboard and hitting “Create Any Resource.” The interface is super simple. You can start from scratch, use a template, or upload something old to improve it (yes, even that PDF from 2018).

Step 2: Plug in My Topic and Pick My Options


In the prompt box, I type something like:

  • Topic: Dividing Fractions

  • Grade: 6th

  • Lesson Phase: Practice

You can even align to standards, link a source, or include a boost if you're feeling fancy.



Step 3: Watch It Generate (No Joke, in Seconds)


Here’s what it gave me last week for “Dividing Fractions”:

  • A visual diagram on how to divide fractions

  • 4 computation problems

  • 2 word problems using real-world contexts

  • Clear directions, numbered problems, and room for work

I didn’t have to fix a thing.


Step 4: Edit On the Fly (With AI Help!)

Want to make changes? I do it right inside TeachShare. Need more challenge problems? Ask the AI chat. Want simpler language for your IEP group? Just type: “Can you simplify the instructions and add visuals for my SPED learners?” Boom—new version, instantly. I don’t have to start over or reformat anything.

Step 5: Download or Assign Instantly


Here’s the magic:

  • I can post it directly to Google Classroom (no downloading, no renaming, no drama)

  • I can assign it as an online activity with auto-grading built in (yes, really)

  • Or I can just hit Download PDF and run to the copier between 2nd and 3rd period


Bonus: It Gives Me a Full Teacher Guide

Every time I make a worksheet, it automatically gives me:

  • A breakdown of learning objectives

  • Suggested pacing

  • Differentiation tips

  • An answer key

Even if I forget to prep, I walk into class looking like I had it all together the whole time!

What About Using ChatGPT or Other AI Tools?

Sure, you can make math worksheets using ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot. But you’ll need to do a lot of extra work:

  • Write detailed prompts

  • Format everything by hand

  • Build your own answer keys

  • Double-check for math errors

I’ve done it. It works… kinda. But I’d rather spend that time helping my students or just doing more productive tasks to be honest.


Final Thoughts: From One Math Teacher to Another

If you’ve been curious about using AI but felt overwhelmed by where to start or just burned out trying to make it work, TeachShare is 100% worth trying. It’s built for us, not just for techies. It gets the structure of a real classroom worksheet. It speaks teacher. And more than anything, it’s saved me time and energy I can now spend it on my students or my wellness!
