DrawEduMath: Handwritten Student Math Answers with Teacher Descriptions

DrawEduMath contains 2,030 images of handwritten math answers from U.S. students across Grades 2 through high school. The dataset, created by Heffernan-WPI-Lab, pairs each image with a free-form teacher description and includes 11,661 question-answer pairs. It was last updated on March 10, 2025.

Use Cases

• Train visual question answering models based on images of handwritten math work.
• Develop automated grading systems based on teacher-written descriptions of student responses.
• Analyze common student errors in math based on the annotated answer pairs.
• Build educational tools that interpret and provide feedback on handwritten student work.

Strengths

• Contains 2,030 unique images of student work, providing a substantial visual corpus.
• Includes 2,030 free-form teacher descriptions, offering expert human annotations.
• Covers 188 math problems across a wide grade range (Grades 2 through high school).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the QA pairs is not explicitly stated, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and educational bias inherent to its U.S.-based student source.
