Teaching tasks

Shape a worksheet
around the learning goal.

Explore how to ask for practice, support and answer guidance, then review every task before sharing it.

01 · Create

Turn a learning focus into a worksheet.

Name the subject, stage and objective. Ask for questions, support and answer guidance. PLAI™ uses the school and curriculum context available to it.

Open the worksheet prompt ↗

Create a worksheet on [topic], with answers for me to check.

Copy first, then sign up and paste into PLAI™. Opens in a new tab; the prompt is not transferred automatically.

02 · Adapt

Adjust the support.
Keep the learning goal.

Ask for a worked first step, clearer instructions or vocabulary support. Keep an independent question at the end so you can see what pupils can do without that help.

Try it with PLAI™ ↗

Keep the conversation going

A useful draft.
A better fit.

Tell PLAI™ what you want to change. Try one of these follow-ups with your draft, then check the result for your class.

Find another way in

Suggest a different opening question that connects this learning goal to something learners already know.

Adjust the support

Add an optional vocabulary box and a sentence starter. Keep the main reasoning task and final independent question.

Go one step further

Add a follow-up question that asks learners to explain their reasoning in a new situation.

Check the content, answers and fit with your learning goal before classroom use.

Questions before you start

Can I ask for different levels of support?
Describe the support the task needs, such as a worked first step or clearer vocabulary. Keep the learning goal explicit and check whether the supported version still asks pupils to think.
Should I trust the answer key?
Check every answer yourself, including reasoning, units and alternative valid methods. The answer key is part of the draft, not a substitute for review.
Can I turn an existing task into a worksheet?
Use only material you have permission to share. Describe the learning goal and the changes you need, then check the result against the original purpose.
Can I download it in a particular format?
The recorded export demonstration shows the export menu and a PDF output. The formats available in your account depend on the product experience you are using; check the options in your account.

Bring the practice
your class needs next.

Start with the objective, then decide what learners should do independently.
