Worksheet generator: printable practice with an answer key
Finding a worksheet that matches exactly what you taught this week is harder than it should be. Tell your todo.is agent the topic and grade, and this prompt gets you a clean, printable worksheet that goes from easy to harder, leaves space to write, and comes with a separate answer key showing the working.
The prompt
- Create a printable worksheet on [TOPIC] for [GRADE OR AGE]. Include [NUMBER OF QUESTIONS] questions in [QUESTION TYPES], ordered from easy to harder, with a worked example at the top. Use simple instructions and [THEME] in the word problems. Leave enough space to write answers, add a name and date line, and one challenge question at the end. Make it fit on [PAGES] A4 or Letter pages in a clear font. Give me a PDF to print, an editable Word version and a separate answer key with the working shown. Email them to me.
What to change
- [TOPIC]: E.g. "adding fractions with unlike denominators", "past simple irregular verbs", "the water cycle".
- [GRADE OR AGE]: E.g. "4th grade", "age 9", "Year 7" or "adult ESL".
- [NUMBER OF QUESTIONS]: E.g. "12".
- [QUESTION TYPES]: E.g. "8 calculations and 4 word problems", "fill in the blanks and matching", "label the diagram".
- [THEME]: Something your learners like: "football", "animals", "cooking", "space".
- [PAGES]: E.g. "1" or "2".

- Answer key
- • 1. 3/4 · 2. 1/2 · 3. 1/2 · 4. 7/12 · 5. 13/15 · 6. 11/12
- • 7. 20/24 + 9/24 = 29/24 = 1 5/24
- • 8. 21/30 + 20/30 = 41/30 = 1 11/30
- • 9. 5/6 of a lap · 10. 11/12 of a bottle · 11. 17/12 = 1 5/12 hours
- • 12. 9/20, which is less than 10/20 = 1/2
- • Challenge: many answers, e.g. 1/3 + 4/6 or 2/5 + 6/10
How to do it with todo.is
- Fill in the topic, grade, how many questions and a theme your learners like.
- Paste the to-do in todo.is, or send it to your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- Your agent emails a print-ready PDF, a Word version you can edit and an answer key.
- Ask for an easier and a harder version of the same sheet for different groups, or a new one each week.
Tips for a better result
- Start with a worked example. Students who were absent or unsure can still begin.
- Order questions from easy to harder so everyone gets some right before the stretch questions.
- Ask for two versions (support and challenge) with the same layout so the class can work side by side.
- Make it recurring: "every Friday, make next week's spelling worksheet from the words I send".
