AI DOK Questions Generator for Math
Math instruction at every grade level requires questions that move students beyond procedural recall, from recognizing a formula to applying it flexibly, from solving a known problem type to reasoning about an unfamiliar situation. The AI DOK Questions Generator creates math questions at all four Webb's levels from any CCSS, state standard, or topic description. Mr. Yamamoto, a high school algebra teacher, inputs the standard for quadratic equations and gets seven questions: Level 1 calculation practice, Level 2 application in context, Level 3 justification of a solution strategy, and a Level 4 mathematical modeling prompt that asks students to build and interpret a quadratic model for a real scenario.

How teachers use it for math
Classroom scenarios where DOK question generation changes assessment and discussion design.
Balanced unit test covering procedural and conceptual understanding
A 6th-grade math team builds all unit tests using the DOK generator to ensure they assess both procedural fluency (L1–L2) and conceptual understanding (L2–L3). For their fractions unit, they input 4 CCSS standards and generate 28 questions. The team reviews it, removes 3 questions that overlap, and publishes the common assessment.
Exit tickets for conceptual monitoring in geometry
Ms. Scott teaches 10th-grade geometry and uses the DOK generator to build daily exit tickets. For each lesson, she inputs the specific standard and keeps Level 2 and Level 3 only (enough to check understanding beyond basic computation. A Level 2 exit ticket can ask students to classify triangles from a set of coordinates. A Level 3 exit ticket can ask students to evaluate whether a given proof is valid and identify the error if not.
Math modeling tasks for AP statistics
Dr. Flores teaches AP Statistics and uses the generator to create Level 4 mathematical modeling prompts for her investigative tasks. She inputs the AP Statistics curriculum framework for exploring bivariate data and keeps only the Level 4 questions. She adapts the draft into prompts: design a study to investigate the relationship between two variables, analyze a dataset for regression assumptions, evaluate the appropriateness of a linear model, and apply the model to make a prediction with an uncertainty interval. These become the investigative task starters for the unit.

Questions teachers ask
How does the DOK framework apply specifically to math questions?
In math, DOK Level 1 involves recalling a definition, executing a memorized procedure, or computing a single step. Level 2 involves selecting the appropriate procedure for a given situation, interpreting a graph or table, or applying a concept in a standard context. Level 3 involves explaining why a solution strategy works, evaluating the reasonableness of an answer, or identifying an error in reasoning. Level 4 involves designing a mathematical model, investigating a novel problem across multiple representations, or generalizing a pattern to an unfamiliar context. The generator produces questions at each level that fit this structure for any math topic.
Does the generator protect the mathematical content when generating questions?
Yes. When you input a math standard, the generator produces questions on the mathematical content, and you check them. The numerical values, operations, and mathematical relationships in generated questions are yours to check. For word problems generated at Level 2 and Level 3, check that the mathematical setup is unambiguous and the solution is unique. If a generated question has a mathematical error, you can generate again or edit it.
Can I use the DOK generator for student-led inquiry in a problem-based learning classroom?
Yes. In a problem-based learning classroom, Level 3 and Level 4 questions drive inquiry because they do not have a single lookup answer. Generate a bank of Level 3 and Level 4 questions from the unit standards and use them as investigation prompts: "Does a quadratic always have two real solutions? Investigate and justify." Students work in groups to explore the question, collect evidence, and present their reasoning. The generator gives a starting point for inquiry prompts, which saves you from a blank page.
How do I generate math questions that test both procedural and conceptual understanding?
Use Level 1 and Level 2 for procedural fluency questions (these test whether students can correctly execute a procedure or apply a concept in a familiar context. Use Level 3 for conceptual understanding questions) these test whether students understand why a procedure works or can apply it in an unfamiliar context. A balanced assessment includes both. Many teachers aim for a good share of questions at Level 2 or above.
Can the generator produce math questions for students with learning accommodations?
Yes, as a draft you adapt. The generator produces questions labeled by cognitive level, but the reading complexity of word problems varies. For students with reading-related IEPs or ELL accommodations, use the AI Text Leveler to reduce the language complexity of the generated word problems without changing the mathematical content. Check that the mathematical relationships and operations are preserved; the sentence structure and vocabulary are simplified. The two tools work well in combination for math accommodation planning.
