Dataset Highlights

The gold-standard benchmark dataset for evaluating mathematical reasoning abilities of large language models

🎓

Elementary Math Problems

Problems cover basic elementary-level mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, percentages, and more. No advanced mathematics knowledge is required, focusing on testing reasoning rather than computational complexity.

📐

Step-by-Step Solutions

Each problem includes a detailed step-by-step solution process, with intermediate calculation steps and final answers annotated, providing high-quality labeled data for Chain-of-Thought training.

🌍

Language Diversity

Problems use natural language to describe a rich variety of real-life scenarios, covering topics such as shopping, speed, and age. Flexible language avoids formulaic patterns and better reflects real-world problems.

🔗

Multi-Step Reasoning

Each problem requires 2-8 reasoning steps to solve, demanding coherent logical reasoning and intermediate-state tracking capabilities from models, effectively distinguishing the reasoning levels of different models.

💬

Natural Language Problems

All problems are presented in natural language text, without formulas or symbolic expressions, testing a model's ability to understand mathematical relationships from text and extract key numerical values.

📊

Standard Benchmark

Widely used by mainstream large language models such as GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini to evaluate mathematical reasoning abilities, it is one of the most frequently cited mathematics benchmarks in academic papers and technical reports.
