Ninebark helps students spend less time learning calculators and more time learning mathematics.
“Traditional scientific and multi-function calculators often get in the way of students learning the underlying mathematics. Teachers spend valuable instructional time teaching students which buttons to press and how to navigate calculator functions, instead of deepening student understanding and fluency with mathematics.”— Martha Schlatter, Director, Instructional Supports · Pioneer Math, School District of Philadelphia

FAQs
Dylan is a student at Haverford College studying Mathematics and Philosophy.
No. Both the Ninebark Calculator and Ninebark for Desmos are deterministic. They interpret natural language with fixed rules, so they always give the same result for a given input.
Ninebark Calculator: Almost everything a TI-84 can. A complete list of mathematical capabilities is available in the prototype.
Ninebark for Desmos: Almost everything Desmos can.
No. Ninebark for Desmos is designed to make Desmos easier to use by providing a natural-language interface.
Ninebark is designed specifically for classroom use and is not AI. Students can ask it to perform mathematical computations or create visuals, but not to solve homework problems or generate explanations.
