"Students are most confident because of the extra practice they received with Prodigy. My students typically score higher than others on district screeners and math benchmarks because I am able to individualize and differentiate instruction using the Prodigy reports."
"I've seen a 45% increase in my standardized testing scores thanks to playing at least 25 minutes a day in Prodigy. The bulk of their Prodigy time is in the morning when their mind is still fresh for learning and it also helps them get settled in for the rest of the day's learning."
"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."

The team of Education Specialists who create the math content are former educators.
Together, they regularly create content — researching learning standards and building content down into bite-sized skills that students can practice on their way to master learning.
Using their experience as classroom educators, they develop question hints to ensure students receive accessible and appropriate scaffolding and content rigor.
Prodigy offers 1,500+ math skills ranging from first- to third-level DOK. On the lower end, students practice fluency and knowledge of basic concepts and routine procedures. On the higher end, they interpret and understand what the question is asking.
Educators and parents can use Prodigy as they work to support learners' understanding of the underlying math principles to ensure students don’t just grasp new knowledge — but learn to apply it, too.
Prodigy’s questions are based on the curriculum your child is taught in school. Our certified teachers work hard to make sure at-home play is always aligned with the classroom.
Prodigy Math covers mathematics standards for grades 1-8 across the United States, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and Australia. Explore our math skills and standards to see how it aligns to your child’s curriculum.
Prodigy English is aligned with Common Core language, reading and writing standards for grades 1-6. Explore our English language arts skills and standards to see how it aligns to your child’s curriculum.
At Prodigy, we take your child’s privacy very seriously. While they play, no personal information or inappropriate language can be shared with or seen by any other user.
We partnered with an independent privacy expert (iKeepSafe) to ensure full compliance with all federal privacy legislation — like FERPA and COPPA — as well as state legislation.

Prodigy Math determines your child’s skill and grade level using a placement test.
The placement test starts immediately when your child starts playing the game. It starts one grade below the one you or your child selected when setting up their account. Then, it works upwards to determine your child’s actual grade level.
When the placement test ends, Prodigy’s adaptive algorithm continues to track your child’s progress, going back to basics or jumping ahead, based on your child’s unique needs.
Epics are extra-powerful pets found in Prodigy Math. Each Epic has its own unique characteristics and abilities to help players on their Prodigy adventures.
Previously, Epics were toys that kids could collect in the real world. Each toy included a digital Epic code to access the in-game characters they represented. These were discontinued in 2019, but all the love our players had for them did not go unnoticed.
Since we couldn’t bring the physical toys back, we decided to bring Epics back virtually. Now, all players with Memberships can unlock a powerful Mythical Epic!

If your class uses Prodigy, you're already in! There's no separate sign-up required. Visit the State Challenge dashboard to track your progress.
The competition runs from September 15 to April 30, with a new challenge restarting on the 1st of every month.
Schools in Washington, D.C. will compete against schools in Maryland for the State Challenge.
Schools are placed into one of three tiers based on grades 1-8 enrolment data:
No. Schools are automatically placed in a tier, and stay there for the full competition year.
Congratulations on becoming math champions! You will receive a celebration kit packed with Prodigy swag and in-game rewards to celebrate your win. In addition, your school qualifies for the Prodigy National Cup and will "graduate" from State Challenges, meaning you won’t compete in future State Challenges this school year. Instead, you’re encouraged to keep the fun going by continuing to hit monthly milestones and unlocking even more in-game rewards while getting ready for the Prodigy National Cup in May 2026!
No. Each school can only win 1st place once in the State Challenge, but 2nd–5th place schools can continue to compete in the following State Challenge.
It’s the ultimate finale after all State Challenges have finished for the school year! From May 1–14, 2026, qualifying schools will compete for epic prizes with over $200,000 in tech grants.
Celebration kits will automatically be shipped to 1st place schools in each state and tier. No action is required from the teacher or principal.
In-game rewards will be available for participating students to claim in their Prodigy Math account until the end of the month following their win (i.e. if they win the October State Challenge, they have until the end of November to claim). Students can click on the State Challenge icon 🏆 to get to the screen to collect prizes and milestones.
Teachers can check the State Challenge dashboard to see their standing anytime. Winners are also notified via email at the start of the month following the challenge period.
Schools can win over $200k in tech grants, Prodigy swag and additional recognition.
This year, we are awarding winners with Prodigy swag and in-game rewards. Gift cards are no longer part of State Challenge prizes.
Milestone rewards are in-game prizes given to all participating students at a school once certain benchmarks (e.g. 1k, 5k, 10k correct questions) are reached during the month. Students automatically receive the reward through in-game mail. Milestones reset at the start of each new month.
Use your State Challenge dashboard in Prodigy to monitor class and school performance on the leaderboard.
The leaderboard updates at 7:00 AM ET every weekday.

“We’re very much about encouraging teachers and kids to know how they learn best and then find ways to learn. Prodigy was another opportunity for them to build that skill in themselves.”
“Often our students aren’t as confident in math. I’m happy that through the use of Prodigy and the support of teachers, confidence is increasing.”
“In less than 12 months... I’ve got kids that have elevated two to three grade levels.”
“In Prodigy, my low-performing students can compete with my high-performing students without tension or negative consequences, which causes them to perform better.”
“What’s interesting is how much it's been used outside of school, not just inside the confines of the classroom... It's the students who want to do it. It's a motivating factor that the students love it.”
“Prodigy translates to a love of math. We’re using it because it’s adaptive, and they’re working at their level in their zone of proximal development”
“Prodigy has helped us identify areas of growth for students and gives teachers the information needed to provide targeted interventions.”
Progress monitoring – especially integrated with technology – is a viable practice teachers and school administrators can implement to overcome the obstacles in learning.
