Annotation: The digital transformation of education leads to the widespread use of electronic knowledge control systems. In particular, many universities use LMS Moodle to conduct such control. The use of digital tools by students in their studies, in turn, entails the emergence of new types of errors associated with entering answers into the electronic system. This problem requires additional research and the development of new methodological approaches. The object of this study is the process of teaching higher mathematics in a digital environment; the subject is students’ errors when completing written assignments in mathematics with the entry of answers into LMS Moodle. The purpose of the study: to determine the proportion of error types and systematize the errors that occur in the digital environment. The paper presents an analysis of examination papers in mathematics completed by first-year bachelor’s students of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. The percentage distribution of various types of errors is presented. Among them, special attention is paid to careless errors. These errors are divided into separate types; their percentage ratio is presented in the study of the results of the examination paper in mathematics on the Moodle platform. The authors attribute the following new types of errors that arise in connection with the use of LMS Moodle: incorrect answer input, rounding errors, decimal separator format errors, and incomplete answers. A fairly large percentage of errors of a new type and, in general, carelessness errors identified in the study makes it necessary to develop special techniques aimed at reducing such errors to a minimum. The scientific novelty of the study lies in supplementing the typification of mathematical errors with the category of slip-ups in the digital educational environment.
