My students ask for Prodigy by nameX. It turns our math practice block into something they look forward to, and the reports show me exactly who needs a little extra support before the next lesson.

Differentiation used to eat up my planning time. Now I can set assignments that meet each student where they are, and they get to practice through play instead of another worksheet.

The real-time insights are a game changer for small groups. I can glance at the dashboard and know who is ready to move on and who could use another round of practice.
5th Grade Math Teacher, Georgia
Prodigy fits right into my routine. I use it for warm-ups, stations and early finishers, and it lines up with the skills we are already covering in class.
2nd Grade Teacher, Illinois
I have students who used to shut down at the word 'fractions.' Watching them cheer after a battle because they got a fraction question right has been the highlight of my year.
4th Grade Teacher, North Carolina
Setting up my class took minutes, not hours. It is free for me as a teacher, and my students were exploring and practicing the very same day.
6th Grade Math Teacher, Arizona
Prodigy gives my quieter students a place to build confidence at their own pace. They practice more, and they are more willing to share their thinking in class.
3rd Grade Teacher, California
Test prep does not have to feel like pressure. We use Prodigy to review key skills in a way that feels like an adventure, and my students stay engaged the whole time.
5th Grade Teacher, Florida
We wanted a tool our teachers would actually use. Prodigy was easy to roll out across our grades, and the insights help our math coaches see where to focus support.
Elementary Principal, Pennsylvania
Our teachers love that it saves prep time, and our students love that it feels like a game. That combination is rare, and it has made math practice more consistent school-wide.
Curriculum Director, Michigan
"Prodigy is a great way to get kids who don't like math into math."
"In less than 12 months... I’ve got kids that have elevated two to three grade levels. That’s huge when you look at those kids who’ve grown three grade levels with everything that’s going on."
"Having access to Prodigy really helps supplement our math learning and tells me what areas of the curriculum I need to add more focus on. I think all teachers should use Prodigy if possible because it is an amazing learning tool."
