## Summary
LLMs used as tutors usually return one explanation regardless of who asks. A fourth-grader and a high-schooler need different reasoning for the same problem. Existing education benchmarks give different questions to different grades, so they cannot separate problem difficulty from how well a model adapts its explanation. CogBench addresses this by turning K–12 mathematics problems into a "one question, multiple solutions" format. Each question carries several correct solution traces, each tied to a grade level and curriculum knowledge.

The solutions come from two sources:
- **Varied decoding:** the model is sampled repeatedly with different settings, and only correct outputs are kept.
- **Probability attenuation:** the model is pushed away from ideas it has already used, which surfaces new solution paths.

The solutions are then mapped to a cumulative, curriculum-derived knowledge graph and checked by experts.

Testing 11 LLMs on three tasks shows that models usually get the answer right but often fail to pitch the explanation at the requested level. Cognition-aware fine-tuning improves alignment at a small cost in raw accuracy. The benchmark matters for building tutoring systems that adapt to the learner, not just to the correct answer.

## Key points
- **Dataset:** about 2.1K mathematics questions spanning primary, middle and high school, each with multiple valid solutions at different cognitive levels. Code and data are at github.com/kg-bnu/CogBench.
- **Three tasks:**
  - unconstrained QA;
  - grade-constrained solution generation;
  - knowledge-constrained solution generation.
- **Three metrics:** Cognitive Accuracy, Knowledge Consistency and Knowledge Divergence.
- **Solution diversity method:** anchor tokens plus the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse of the embedding matrix are used to down-weight already-produced solution semantics during decoding.
- **Human validation:** five education experts rated responses on 500 sampled questions. Their scores correlated strongly (Pearson) with the automatic metrics.
