How Can TeacherMade Help Make Guided Practice That Benefits Students?

It can be time-consuming to create guided practice. That’s what makes TeacherMade such a great tool. TeacherMade converts your traditional paper assignments into online interactive activities. It’s simple:

Step 1: Upload your file. The file you upload becomes the background of your new online assignment. (We support these file types.)
Step 2: Add fields for student responses.
Step 3: Add answers to questions for self-scoring.
Step 4: Send an assignment link to students or sync with your school’s LMS platform.
Step 5: Get instant feedback and results.

When you upload your PDFs to TeacherMade, it allows you to adapt activities you already have to the needs of your students. You no longer need to force a paper or PDF worksheet to work just because you can’t change it. Now you can edit anything– digitally!

TeacherMade gives you the power to adapt your resources to fit your students right at the moment. The best part is that TeacherMade integrates perfectly into LMS platforms like Google Classroom, Schoology, Canvas, and MS Teams.

How Can TeacherMade Simplify Guided Practice?

Guided practice is an interactive strategy teachers use during a lesson where they model how to do a task before students do the new concept independently.

Don’t just take our word for it...

“Being a math Teacher, this app is fantastic. I’m uploading all of my Word worksheets, turning them into TeacherMade worksheets, and now the hours I used to spend grading student work will be spent on better things…Love this app!”

“I am teaching Advanced Physics and chemistry, and this has made my life so much easier. We use it for Assessments and some practice assignments. This product has been a true godsend to anyone who uses Math and wants their students to show work. Thank you.” –John S.

What Are Some Quick Ideas On How To Get Started With TeacherMade?

Turn your existing PDFs, Microsoft Word Docs, images, and paper assignments into digital activities

This is the exact reason we created TeacherMade, but we must mention it. You can use what you already have– don’t reinvent the wheel!

Use math functions in our equation editor, and have students show their work

TeacherMade eliminates the need for showing work using pen and paper. Your students will be able to show their work on their online interactive worksheets. You can even use the comment feature to give feedback along the way.

John S., chemistry and physics Teacher, explains:

“To see my students’ work, I leave a lot of space after the question. Students have been instructed to use the pencil button, and using either their phones, notebooks, or iPads, the students can then write out the equations and then show how they solved the problem. When they make me a diagram or a graph, they will use the text box feature to enter the appropriate titles. In each class, I did a practice assignment where I showed them where the tools were located and how to use them. The students then did a mini-assignment to show they could use the features I wanted them to be able to use. I am teaching using a mixed model where I have some students in person and a handful virtual. This really helped the virtual students in doing their work. They didn’t have to submit blurred pictures that I couldn’t read to get credit.”

Read a passage or questions and have students respond to it

This is great for foreign languages, poetry, or literature when students need to hear your voice. Record your voice, add a text box, and students can complete the assignment anytime. No need to be in the same room waiting for everyone to be on-task together!

Make practice activities more automated with our self-grade feature

We know worksheets are a vital tool for practicing skills that students need in the classroom. But why spend time grading repetitive guided practice? Take the practice questions you already use, put them into TeacherMade, add the answer key, and free up your time.
