Free Math Problem Generator: Practice Sets and Word Problems with Answer Key
Home › Free tools › Math Problem Generator

Free math problem generator

Make a printable practice set for any grade and topic, from addition in 1st grade to quadratics in Algebra 2, with drill or word problems and an answer key.

What is a math problem generator?

A math problem generator writes printable practice sets for a grade and topic you choose. This one makes 1 to 40 practice or word problems at an easy, medium or hard level, from 1st-grade addition to Algebra 2, and prints the answer key on a separate page. Every answer is calculated by the tool, so the key always matches the problems.

Math topics by grade

GradeTopics to try
1st to 2ndAddition and subtraction, simple multiplication, word problems
3rd to 4thMultiplication, division, long division with remainders, adding and subtracting fractions
5th to 6thAll fraction operations, decimals, percents, ratios, order of operations
7th to 8thOne- and two-step equations, variables on both sides, geometry, right triangles
Algebra 1 and 2Systems of equations, quadratics, simplifying radicals, hard-level sets

How to make a problem set in 3 steps

  1. Choose the topic and grade. The grade sets the size of the numbers. Fractions, decimals, algebra and geometry have their own topics.
  2. Set difficulty and number. Pick easy, medium or hard and up to 40 problems. For word problems, choose a context such as sports or cooking.
  3. Check and print. Work two or three problems yourself, then print the student copy and the answer key.

Drill or word problems

Choose practice problems for fluency, or word problems for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and percents. Word problems use names and objects from a context you pick, so the scenarios fit your class. Other topics, such as equations and geometry, are always written as practice problems.

FAQ

What math topics does it cover?

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, long division, fractions, decimals, percents, ratios, order of operations, one- and two-step equations, equations with variables on both sides, systems of equations, quadratics, simplifying radicals and geometry.

Can I get word problems instead of drill?

Yes. Choose Word problems for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or percents and pick a context. Other topics are written as practice problems.

How do I set the difficulty?

Pick the grade, which sets the kind of numbers, then choose easy, medium or hard. Hard uses larger numbers and more demanding forms.

Are the answers correct?

Yes. The tool creates each problem from numbers it picked, so it calculates the answer directly. Division problems come out even, subtraction never goes negative below Algebra, and equations have whole-number solutions. Still work a few yourself before handing the set out.

Does it use AI?

No. It uses rules and exact arithmetic, so answers are never guessed and nothing you do is sent anywhere.

Does the generator check student work?

No. It writes problems. To grade completed work, use a grading tool that reads student answers against your rubric.

Can I print the set and the answer key?

Yes. Use Print / Save PDF. The answer key starts on its own page. Untick the answer key box for a student-only copy.

Is the math problem generator free?

Yes, and it needs no account.
