In Prodigy Math, students customize their character's appearance and engage in an immersive storyline with math battles against Prodigy creatures. The math question interface offers video lessons, hint bubbles, and text-to-speech support, along with tools like digital manipulatives. Correct answers progress the game, while incorrect answers result in a missed move. The engaging battle aspect of the game motivates students and builds their math confidence as they answer standards-aligned questions.

In Prodigy English, students immerse themselves in building an online village while mastering curriculum-aligned reading, writing, and language skills. As they explore and collect supplies, students answer standards-aligned questions to earn energy, which is essential for improving their village and progressing in this sandbox-style game.
