Word problems that don't repeat

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.

  • Varied real-world contexts per item

  • Optional theme lock (sports, animals, food)

  • Two-step and multi-step problems

  • Balanced mix across the set

About this tool

Simple Algebra Problems — free AI generator

Simple algebra problems — the first time a student sees a letter in place of a number — need to feel approachable. This simple algebra problems generator produces one-step and two-step linear equations with integer coefficients no larger than 10 and integer solutions. Perfect for the day you introduce "solve for x" and you want 20 clean problems for guided practice. Every page is new. Use the generator above to make one — a prompt like "simple algebra problems, one-step equations, 25 questions" gives you a printable worksheet with its answer key.

Scope of "simple"

Simple algebra in this tool means: equations of the form ax + b = c where a, b, c are small positive or negative integers and the solution x is an integer. It also includes one-step equations (x + b = c, x − b = c, ax = c, x/a = c) and very early multi-step equations where combining like terms or distributing is limited to a single obvious step.

Control surfaces

Set equation type (one-step, two-step), coefficient range (1–5 for gentlest, 1–10 for standard simple), and solution range (single-digit solutions only, or up to two-digit). You can request horizontal or vertical layout, with or without answer spaces, and with or without the "check your answer" column.

  • One-step addition or subtraction equations

  • One-step multiplication or division equations

  • Two-step equations with small coefficients

  • Simple evaluate-for-value problems

Teaching slot

Run simple algebra worksheets in the first week of Algebra 1, in late 7th or 8th grade pre-algebra, or as intervention for a struggling student who needs confident wins before tackling harder sets. The easy algebra problems generator is a near-twin for additional volume; pair them for a week of front-loading practice.

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.
