Gravity Forms Math Captcha is a light-weight plugin that allows you to add a simple, non-image-based math captcha field to your Gravity Forms.
When you add a Math Captcha field to your form, a simple addition or subtraction question will be randomly generated each time the form is loaded. You can choose to display the math question as numerals and math symbols, all words, or a mix of both.
Please Note
Simple math captcha validation isn't impervious to spam bots. However, in cases where image-based captcha cannot be used (e.g. due to accessibility concerns, etc.) this plugin can help add a bit of extra protection to your forms.
