A teacher you know thought you might like Prodigy. They sent you this because Prodigy is something they use in their own classroom and thought it could be useful in yours too.
Prodigy is a game-based math platform for grades 1–8 that gives students engaging, standards-aligned practice while helping teachers assign content, track progress and see where students may need support.
Here's a quick look at what Prodigy can do and how to get started.
Why teachers use Prodigy
Prodigy turns math practice into a game students want to play, while giving teachers tools to support what they are already teaching in class.
Intentional Prodigy use has been shown to support stronger math outcomes.* And because it's free to create a teacher account, it's easy to try with your class.
“Struggling students love Prodigy. They think they're playing a game, but in reality, they are learning and practicing. Some of my heaviest users of Prodigy have become my best students. There is a positive correlation between Prodigy usage and student performance.”
— Jezer Urena, Teacher
