# Eedi Misconceptions Graph

> Explore the Eedi Misconceptions Graph dataset, which maps common math misconceptions to the constructs they hinder.

## Overview

<Note>
  The Eedi Misconceptions Graph dataset uses learning components
  [entities](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/learning-components#entities) and
  [relationships](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/learning-components#relationships).
</Note>

The Eedi Misconceptions Graph dataset represents common math misconceptions and the constructs they get in the way of:

* **Misconception** - Flawed conceptual structure, or a gap in conceptual understanding, that shows up as a systematic, predictable error pattern across problems involving the same mathematical concept
* **Construct** - Granular learning goals that target a specific element of mathematics (e.g. *Order fractions with the same denominators*)

It is sourced from the [Eedi](https://eedi.com) ↗ Misconceptions Graph and derived from more than 120 million recorded student answers to Diagnostic Questions. Students answer multiple-choice Diagnostic Questions with 1 correct answer and 3 distractors. Each distractor is tagged with the misconception it reveals. Those responses are then aggregated into a graph that demonstrates which misconceptions attach to which parts of mathematics.

| **Author assessments with known distractors** | <ul><li>Write or generate multiple-choice items whose distractors each map to a known misconception</li><li>Make a wrong answer point to the likely misunderstanding behind it</li></ul> |
| **Deliver real-time feedback and tutoring**   | <ul><li>Identify the misconception most likely behind a student's error</li><li>Respond with targeted, actionable feedback rather than only marking the answer wrong</li></ul>           |
| **Diagnose errors from student work**         | <ul><li>Infer which misconception a student holds from their responses or written work</li><li>Use that inference to guide next instructional steps</li></ul>                            |
| **Customize instruction and curriculum**      | <ul><li>Anticipate common misconceptions for a learning goal</li><li>Address them proactively when building or adapting lessons</li></ul>                                                |

<Note>
  Misconceptions are currently reachable only through Eedi constructs – not
  through academic standards, learning components, or curriculum.
