What is a math word problem?
A math word problem states a math question as a short story, so students have to read, pick out the quantities, choose the operation, and then compute. This generator writes word problems for kindergarten through 8th grade, in all four operations and in fractions, ratios, and equations, with an answer key.
What each grade band covers
The problems follow the Common Core strands for Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations, and Ratios and Proportional Relationships, with numbers and reading load scaled to the grade:
K-2: addition and subtraction, within 10 in kindergarten and within 100 by 2nd grade
Grades 3-5: multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals
Grades 6-8: ratios, percents, negative numbers, and equations
How you control the output
Say the grade, the operation (or 'all four operations'), the number of problems (up to 40), and a theme such as sports, cooking, or money. Ask for one-step, two-step, or multi-step stories, or a specific structure such as compare problems.
Classroom uses
For differentiation, run the same request at two grade levels and give each group its own page.
How the math problem generator works
- 1
Describe the set
The topic and the format, such as two-step equations or fraction word problems about cooking.
- 2
Set the details
Grade, difficulty, and number of problems. It usually takes 10 to 20 seconds.
- 3
Check and print
Work a few problems yourself, then print the student copy and the answer key.
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.”
Grading the completed problem sets?
GradeWithAI reads handwritten math from scans or phone photos and gives partial credit under your rubric or answer key. You review each score before it posts.

Yes. Choose 6th, 7th, or 8th grade and you get ratio, percent, negative-number, and equation word problems written to those standards.
Yes, as a separate step. Upload scans or phone photos of the finished pages to GradeWithAI with this answer key or your own rubric. It reads handwritten work, gives partial credit, and lets you review every score before students see it. You can also sync assignments from Canvas or Google Classroom. Grading needs a free account.
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.
