Sharing and grouping: the two kinds of division word problems
Division word problems come in two kinds: sharing (partitive), where the number of groups is known ('12 cookies shared equally among 4 friends'), and grouping (measurement or quotative), where the group size is known ('12 cookies handed out 3 at a time'). This generator writes both kinds for grades 3-6, with an answer key.
Why both kinds matter
3.OA.A.2 describes both: finding how many are in each share and finding how many shares there are. The arithmetic is the same, but students who only practice sharing stories often stall when a problem switches to grouping.
What the generator writes
Ask for one kind or a mix. Contexts rotate: pizza slices, miles per gallon on a road trip, party favors per guest. Numbers follow the grade:
3rd grade: dividends within 100, one-digit divisors
4th grade: four-digit dividends and stories about what the remainder means
5th and 6th grade: two-digit divisors, fraction answers, and several steps
Classroom fit
Use these for small-group reteach when students mix up the divisor and the dividend, or as an end-of-unit check. Pair a page with the multiplication word problems generator so students see related facts side by side, such as 3 × 4 = 12 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

What teachers say
Teachers across subjects, from AP history to astrophysics, on grading with GradeWithAI.
“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.”
“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.”
“For Chadwick users, GradeWithAI has improved feedback efficiency and effectiveness, as it is grounded in existing platforms and is highly adaptable.”
“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.”

Yes. Ask for 'interpret the remainder' problems and you get stories like '43 students ride in vans that hold 6 each. How many vans are needed?' The answer is 8, because 7 vans leave 1 student behind.
Yes. Ask for 'two-step division word problems' and students will need another operation before or after dividing.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division (including long division), fractions, decimals, ratios, percents, pre-algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, and geometry.
Yes. Ask for word problems in the description, and add a context such as sports, animals, or food if you like.
Pick the grade, which sets the kind of numbers and operations, then choose easy, medium, or hard.
Yes. Every problem has an answer, printed on a separate page. Work a few problems yourself before handing the set out, since AI-generated math can contain mistakes.
No. It writes problems. To grade completed work, upload it to GradeWithAI, which reads handwritten math and gives partial credit under your rubric or answer key.
Yes, with no account.
