Carnegie Learning sells K-12 curriculum and services under four families: CLEAR Math, CLEAR Literacy, CLEAR Languages and CLEAR Services for professional learning and tutoring. The AI product is MATHia, an intelligent tutoring system for grades 6 to 12 mathematics that the company describes as using symbolic and machine-learning-based AI. A cognitive model maps what a student knows in real time and adapts inside each problem, with step-by-step scaffolding and timely hints, rather than only adjusting the difficulty of the next question. LiveLab gives teachers real-time alerts about which students are working, idle or stuck.
The company grew out of research at Carnegie Mellon University in the late 1990s, and the AI is decades old rather than a recent add-on, which is the main reason to take it seriously. Published research on MATHia, including a 2024 three-study quasi-experimental investigation of hybrid human-AI tutoring, is available; check who authored and funded it. The homepage itself says little about the AI: it mentions MATHia and an Excellence in AI award, and leads with curriculum and EdReports badges, so the AI claims are best checked on the MATHia product pages.
Pricing is not published; districts buy through a contact form. Carnegie Learning is a whole-curriculum and services vendor, so the decision is rarely about the AI alone. Evaluate MATHia against your standards and platform, ask for efficacy evidence that matches your grade band, and confirm how student data is handled.
