What the work involves

You write math instruction scenarios that frontier labs use to probe whether a model can teach, not just compute. A task might start with a student who consistently distributes exponents across sums, or one who can execute the quadratic formula but cannot say what the discriminant tells them. You author the scenario, write a worked solution that explains the reasoning behind each step rather than just the step, and specify what a good instructional response would and would not say.

The second half of the job is grading. You read model output and judge it on two axes at once: is the mathematics correct, and is the pedagogy sound. The most valuable flags are the ones the listing calls out explicitly — responses that arrive at the right answer through reasoning that would install a misconception if a student absorbed it. Cross-multiplication taught as a rule with no proportional reasoning behind it. A limit computed by plugging in. Correct output, bad teaching.

What the platform screens for

  • Verifiable credentials. A teaching license or certification carrying a mathematics endorsement, plus at least two years in a classroom. Expect to name the issuing state or body.
  • Range. The listing asks for depth from foundational numeracy through advanced coursework — screens tend to move between arithmetic-fraction misconceptions and calculus or proof in the same conversation.
  • Misconception fluency. Whether you can name specific errors your students actually made and explain the flawed mental model underneath them, rather than describing errors in the abstract.
  • Written clarity. Every deliverable is prose explaining mathematical reasoning. Screens read your writing as a work sample.

Logistics

Fully remote, fully asynchronous, no live sessions and no fixed shifts. Minimum commitment is 10 hours per week; you set the hours. Pay is hourly via Stripe on a weekly cycle, with the $45–80 range observed on this listing rather than guaranteed — placement within it typically tracks coursework depth and the complexity of tasks you're routed. Work is ongoing project-based rather than a fixed contract term.
