SolveMathAction

SolveMathAction is an Action subtype specific to mathematics education. It adds one property: eduQuestionType (a free-text indicator like "Multiple choice", "Free response", "Proof"). The math problem itself lives on object, and the worked solution on result.

SolveMathAction is niche. Google does not currently surface a dedicated rich result for it, but math education platforms (Khan Academy-style sites, tutoring platforms, textbook publishers) use it in activity markup so consumers can tell a "solve" action apart from a "read" action on the same piece of math content.

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid SolveMathAction entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

Common SolveMathAction mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    SolveMathAction with no eduQuestionType

    Wrong
    SolveMathAction missing the one property it adds
    Right
    Set eduQuestionType to "Multiple choice", "Free response", "Proof", or similar

    eduQuestionType is the whole reason SolveMathAction exists as a distinct type. Without it you are essentially emitting a generic Action on a math problem.
