Do you mean to create a math problem? - rac1, Jun 12, 2015

Oops - I put my comment in the wrong spot - Yes, thank you. I am considering using the word "configurar". I am trying to convey the idea that it is important to put the correct numbers and symbols in the correct locations - cmc13, Jun 12, 2015

Answer 2

Poner un problema?

Answer 3

I would say, "crear un problemas de matemáticas". Wait for a native speaker. To, "set up" is a phrasal verb.
