Scoring - Evaluation Types

Score answers on your terms

Explore how Learnosity evaluates whether a math answer is correct. These demos walk through literal, symbolic, and numeric equivalence—three evaluation types that decide what counts as right, from an exact match to any mathematically equivalent form of the answer.

Key benefits

• Literal equivalence for answers that must match exactly
• Symbolic equivalence that accepts any equivalent algebraic form
• Numeric equivalence that checks value across units and notation
• Fine-grained control so learners aren't penalized for form
