Varied contexts, every problem set
The word-problem generator varies the scenario — sports, animals, food, measurement, time — across every item so students aren't pattern-matching. Specify a context (sports, ancient Egypt, zoo) or let the generator vary.

About this tool
5th Grade Math Word Problems — free AI generator
Fifth grade is decimal year and fraction-operations year. Students multiply 2.3 × 4.6 inside a context, divide fractions in a recipe problem, and run multi-step scenarios that blend operations. This 5th grade math word problems generator produces those scenarios across the 5.OA, 5.NBT, and 5.NF standards. Every worksheet is unique with an auto-generated answer key. Spin one up from the generator above — try "5th grade math word problems, decimals and fractions mix, 20 problems" — and a printable appears shortly.
5th grade standard focus
5.OA.A.2 expects students to write and interpret numerical expressions. 5.NBT.B.7 drives decimal arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, divide) to the hundredths. 5.NF.A.2 handles fraction addition and subtraction with unlike denominators in context. 5.NF.B.4 and 5.NF.B.7 add multiplying fractions and dividing unit fractions by whole numbers (and vice versa).
Problem mix available
Request decimal addition and subtraction (money, measurement), decimal multiplication (area problems), decimal division (price per unit scenarios), fraction addition with unlike denominators (recipes, distances), fraction multiplication by whole numbers ("2/3 of 24 students"), or fraction division by unit fractions. Multi-step problems can layer any of these. Expression-writing problems ("write an expression for 3 times the sum of 7 and 2") deserve their own flavor.

Where it slots in
Strong for unit assessments and review weeks — the multi-operation mix mirrors what students see on state tests. Use targeted decimal or fraction sets during the relevant unit, then switch to mixed for review. Chain with the fraction word problems generator when you want a deep dive on fractions specifically.

Hear from teachers who are saving time and providing better feedback.
“For Chadwick users, GradeWithAI has improved feedback efficiency and effectiveness, as it is grounded in existing platforms and is highly adaptable.”
“More impressive though is that it corrects student answers not simply using a pre-written answer, but by following the thought process they've pursued.”
“I've really enjoyed using the GradeWithAI program. It saves me a ton of time, especially when I have class sizes of 35 or 36 students times five.”
“GradeWithAI doesn't just grade. It gives the student reasoning as to why every point is awarded or not awarded. That is a very valuable thing for the students.”
“GradeWithAI [provides] students with timely individualized feedback on their homework assignments and formative assessments. This is a job that is virtually impossible for a teacher to do on a regular basis.”
“Students have also appreciated the consistency and immediacy of the feedback I can provide through GradeWithAI. This has enabled them to make necessary corrections and achieve their desired scores on any assignment.”
