The grade-school-math repository (sometimes called GSM8K) is a curated dataset of 8,500 high-quality grade school math word problems intended for evaluating mathematical reasoning capabilities of language models. It is structured into 7,500 training problems and 1,000 test problems. These aren’t trivial exercises — many require multi-step reasoning, combining arithmetic operations, and handling intermediate steps (e.g. “If she sold half as many in May… how many in total?”). The problems are written by human authors (not automatically generated) to ensure linguistic variety and realism. ...
