Generate a math word problem

Try one together, or make a five-problem practice set. Every story comes with a visual model and a worked answer.

Changing a grade, operation or theme starts new practice and clears your work. Pick by readiness; younger children may need the story read aloud.

One small story

A wildlife helper has 82 food portions and receives 82 more. How many food portions are there now?

Picture the story

Start at 82 on the number line. Move 82 to the right to find the total.

Enter the number that answers the story.

 

Your answers and notes stay on this page and are cleared when you leave or start new practice. They are not included in usage analytics. Printing creates blank learner pages and the worked answers.
