Dataset Summary
GSM8K (Grade School Math 8K) is a dataset of 8.5K high quality linguistically diverse grade school math word problems. The dataset was created to support the task of question answering on basic mathematical problems that require multi-step reasoning.
- These problems take between 2 and 8 steps to solve.
- Solutions primarily involve performing a sequence of elementary calculations using basic arithmetic operations (+ − ×÷) to reach the final answer.
- A bright middle school student should be able to solve every problem: from the paper, "Problems require no concepts beyond the level of early Algebra, and the vast majority of problems can be solved without explicitly defining a variable."
- Solutions are provided in natural language, as opposed to pure math expressions. From the paper: "We believe this is the most generally useful data format, and we expect it to shed light on the properties of large language models’ internal monologues""
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset is generally used to test logic and math in language modelling. It has been used for many benchmarks, including the LLM Leaderboard.
Languages
The text in the dataset is in English. The associated BCP-47 code is en.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
For the main configuration, each instance contains a string for the grade-school level math question and a string for the corresponding answer with multiple steps of reasoning and calculator annotations (explained here).
{
'question': 'Natalia sold clips to 48 of her friends in April, and then she sold half as many clips in May. How many clips did Natalia sell altogether in April and May?',
'answer': 'Natalia sold 48/2 = <<48/2=24>>24 clips in May.\nNatalia sold 48+24 = <<48+24=72>>72 clips altogether in April and May.\n#### 72',
}
For the socratic configuration, each instance contains a string for a grade-school level math question, a string for the corresponding answer with multiple steps of reasoning, calculator annotations (explained here), and Socratic sub-questions.
{
'question': 'Natalia sold clips to 48 of her friends in April, and then she sold half as many clips in May. How many clips did Natalia sell altogether in April and May?',
'answer': 'How many clips did Natalia sell in May? ** Natalia sold 48/2 = <<48/2=24>>24 clips in May.\nHow many clips did Natalia sell altogether in April and May? ** Natalia sold 48+24 = <<48+24=72>>72 clips altogether in April and May.\n#### 72',
}
Data Fields
The data fields are the same among main and socratic configurations and their individual splits.
question: The question string to a grade school math problem.
answer: The full solution string to the
question. It contains multiple steps of reasoning with calculator annotations and the final numeric solution.

Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
From the paper, appendix A:
We initially collected a starting set of a thousand problems and natural language solutions by hiring freelance contractors on Upwork (upwork.com). We then worked with Surge AI (surgehq.ai), an NLP data labeling platform, to scale up our data collection. After collecting the full dataset, we asked workers to re-solve all problems, with no workers re-solving problems they originally wrote. We checked whether their final answers agreed with the original solutions, and any problems that produced disagreements were either repaired or discarded. We then performed another round of agreement checks on a smaller subset of problems, finding that 1.7% of problems still produce disagreements among contractors. We estimate this to be the fraction of problems that contain breaking errors or ambiguities. It is possible that a larger percentage of problems contain subtle errors.
