How to Create Algebra Practice Problems with Multiple Difficulty Levels in Didaktos

Step‑by‑step tutorial: algebra practice problems with three difficulty levels

Use case: “I need a set of practice problems for algebra with different difficulty levels.”

This guide shows how to create algebra practice problems in Didaktos AI, organized in easy, medium and challenging levels, and ready to print or share.

1. Open Didaktos and go to Resources

1. Log in to Didaktos and open Didaktos AI.
2. On the home screen, click the “Resources” category.
3. In Resource Type, select “Worksheet”. It is the right format for a practice set.

Tip: for a graded test instead of practice, use the Assessment category (for example, “Summative Exam” or “Bloom Question Bank”).

2. Set the subject, grade, standard and format

1. Subject:
   Choose “Mathematics”.
2. Grade Level:
   Choose “High School” (or “Middle School” if your 9th graders are in a middle school).
3. Context / Standard:
   Choose “Common Core Math” (or your local curriculum).
4. Output Format:
   Leave “Plain Text”. Didaktos selects the best format automatically, and you can change it.

3. Write the topic / instructions

1. Click inside the “Topic / Instructions” text box (where the placeholder says “E.g., Water cycle for 3rd grade…”).
2. Type the following (or something very similar):

   Create a set of algebra practice problems with three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and challenging. Include linear equations, inequalities, and basic quadratic expressions. Provide clear instructions and ensure the problems are appropriate for 9th‑grade students. No solutions needed unless requested.

3. Optionally, add constraints such as:
   • “Focus on one‑variable equations only.”
   • “Include word problems in the medium and challenging levels.”
   • “Avoid fractions or decimals in the easy level.”

4. (Optional) Attach supporting files

1. Click the “Attach” button.
2. Select a file from your computer, such as a syllabus, previous unit test or existing worksheet: an image, PDF, Word (.docx), .txt, .md or .csv file (max 5 MB).
3. The file appears next to the button. Didaktos uses it to match the style and level of your problems.

Attaching files is a Didaktos Pro feature. On the free plan, paste a few sample problems into the Topic / Instructions box instead. Learn more about using your own materials.

5. Choose language

1. At the top of the panel, select EN so the practice problems are generated in English.
2. If you later want a Spanish version, select ES and generate again, or use the Translate action on the result.

6. Generate the practice problems

1. Review all fields:
   • Resource Type: Worksheet
   • Subject: Mathematics
   • Grade Level: High School
   • Context / Standard: Common Core Math
   • Output Format: Plain Text
   • Topic / Instructions: Your detailed request about algebra practice problems with different difficulty levels
2. Click the “Generate Resource” button.
3. Wait a few seconds while Didaktos creates the set of problems.

7. Review and refine the result

1. Read the generated algebra practice set and check that it:
   • Includes easy, medium, and challenging levels.
   • Covers linear equations, inequalities, and basic quadratic expressions.
   • Is appropriate for 9th‑grade students.
2. Click “Edit” to refine it with a quick suggestion such as “More activities”, or type your own follow‑up request, for example:
   • “Add answer keys for all problems.”
   • “Include more word problems in the challenging level.”
   • “Reduce the total number of problems to 15.”
3. To turn the set into a graded check, use the Create quiz or Create rubric action on the result.

Always work through the answer key yourself before sharing it with students.

8. Save, export, or reuse

1. Click “Template” and give your settings a name, such as “Algebra – Practice Problems – 9th Grade”. It appears under Saved templates on the home screen, so you can reuse or adapt it later.
2. Open History (the clock icon) to find your recent results again.
3. Use “Download” to get a Word file, “Copy” to paste it into your LMS, or the “Print” view to print the worksheet.
