Community reviews for Prodigy Math

I love everything about Prodigy. I can assign individual, small group or whole group assignments. It breaks down how each student did, including showing me the exact question they missed. It offers alerts when students are struggling with an assignment or standard. The only area that I can critique is the questions asked may not be 100% aligned to the standards (the questions may be asked in a different way or may be harder than what is asked under your state standards).

I have been using prodigy for over 5 years, and my students generally love it.

I love Prodigy. The user interface, game mode, and teacher tools allow the teacher the get what they need and the students to get what they want. Like any educational resource it has its kinks, at times students are more interested in exploring worlds and shopping for new wands and outfits than battling monsters which prevent from maximizing math practice. However, with the new focus mode it provides a happy medium for students to stay focused. I also love the teacher interface and the amount of reports it provides. As a private school I can't use some of the reports as we don't use Common Core however, it does help see how our curriculum matches up with national expectations. Assessment reports help get a quick snapshot to match or oppose classroom observations. I strongly recommend.

I think it is a good resource. I do worry that many teachers will lean on it too much, but that is hardly the fault of the site.

I love that students play Prodigy when it isn't assigned. There is so much excitement around math in my classroom. Students play because they enjoy the game and as they do, they become more confident mathematicians. They get excited to solve new problems rather than intimidated by them. It has been one of my most useful tools.

Reluctant learners thrive on Prodigy Math!

I love the reports, I love that you can see real time usage.

This is a great resource to use in the classroom. I would appreciate if we could get a placement test at the end of June to compare the beginning and end of the year with the same resource. Students enjoy this resource. Prodigy English needs a placement test and the students have the opportunity to just move around without answering questions. (This is not possible with Prodigy Math as other creatures will approach you)

I think its amazing because students can use it themselves at home or at school and both parents and teachers can see the progress the student has made and where they are struggling.

I absolutely love this program. I recommended it to my team, since it gets kids that are quarantined or have chronic absences involved in learning on their own because it is a free video game that compares them to their friends. It celebrates effort and growth rather than just achievement so my middle kids or low ones can win prizes over my high math thinkers for their effort. It is also easy to use.
