grade

Grading means giving marks or scores based on how well someone does something.

When teachers grade their students' work, they're checking to see if the students have understood what they were supposed to do and doing it correctly. This can be for things like a math test or an essay, where the teacher wants to know not just if the student got the right answer, but also how well they explained themselves.
