Monsha’s Worksheet Generator lets you quickly create customised, differentiated worksheets aligned with your teaching objectives. You can generate worksheets based on a variety of sources (i.e. videos, articles, files, or your existing Monsha resources), and customise them to fit different student needs.

Step 1: Log into Monsha

  1. Sign up or log in with your email. It takes only a few clicks.

Step 2: Choose your worksheet type

After logging in, you’ll see two worksheet options:

  • Smart Worksheets: Ideal for quick worksheet creation. Monsha automatically selects suitable activity types based on your provided materials.

  • Worksheets: Select if you prefer choosing and organising specific activity types yourself.

Step 3: (Optional) Assign your worksheet

You can attach the worksheet to a specific course, unit, or lesson. This step keeps resources well-organised and ensures alignment with lesson objectives or standards you've set previously.

If you're not ready, skip this step—you can always attach it later.

Step 4: Provide source materials

Monsha lets you create worksheets using different types of input sources. You can use multiple sources simultaneously:

  • Topics or themes: Type directly (e.g., “Photosynthesis” or “Ancient Rome”).

  • Existing Monsha resources: Use previously created Monsha resources, such as lesson plans or presentations.

  • Internet URLs: Paste links from articles, textbooks, or other online materials.

  • YouTube videos: Paste the video URL—Monsha analyses the complete video transcript for detailed questions.

  • Uploaded files: Upload PDFs, DOCX, PowerPoints, spreadsheets, or images.

  • Text excerpts: Paste any text directly into the tool.

  • Curriculum standards: Select standards such as Common Core or NGSS, or input custom standards.

  • Lesson objectives: Align worksheets to objectives automatically generated from your lessons.

Step 5: Select grade and language (if applicable)

If you haven't assigned your worksheet to a course yet, you'll now select the grade level and language. This ensures that Monsha generates appropriate content for your students.

Step 6: Choose worksheet activities (if using Worksheets tool)

When creating regular Worksheets (not Smart Worksheets), select and arrange the types of questions or activities to include:

  • Diagram Labelling

  • Matching Questions

  • Fill-in-the-Gaps

  • Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

  • True/False

  • Compare and Contrast

  • Open-Ended Questions

  • Critical Thinking

  • Practice Problems or Exercises

  • Writing Prompts

  • Sequencing Events

Arrange activities according to how you plan your lesson.

Step 7: Add additional instructions (optional)

Provide specific instructions to guide the AI, such as:

  • Focusing on certain sub-topics

  • Specifying the number or type of questions

  • Adjusting tone or difficulty level

Example: "Include at least three critical-thinking questions and avoid true/false questions."

Step 8: Set educational frameworks (optional)

You can further adapt your worksheet using educational frameworks:

  • Bloom’s Taxonomy levels

  • Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels

  • Lexile reading levels

These settings help differentiate the worksheets for different student needs within your class.

Step 9: Generate your worksheet

Click Generate to produce your worksheet. The AI will create it in just a few seconds.

What to do after generating your worksheet

After creation, you can:

  • Edit and refine: Adjust the content directly with Monsha’s built-in editor, supporting text formatting, tables, images, and equations.

  • Re-generate: Easily re-generate the worksheet or sections of it if the initial result doesn't fully meet your needs.

  • Differentiate: Quickly create multiple versions tailored to various grade levels, languages, or learning frameworks.

  • Export and share: Download your worksheets in formats like PDF, DOCX, and Google Docs for easy distribution.

  • Create additional resources: Use your worksheet to generate related lesson plans, assessments, or presentations directly within Monsha.

Your worksheets will remain stored securely in your Monsha account, ready for future updates or use.
