Community reviews for Prodigy Math

I absolutely love this program and I have gotten several teachers in my school on board with it. It gets the students so excited about math and they beg to play, what more could a teacher want? Any teacher who thinks that it is just a game should try playing it for a few minutes, and they will quickly realize how much math the students actually are doing. Definitely recommend Prodigy!

Prodigy is an excellent teaching tool and is very flexible in the classroom. I love that the entire teacher side is free. However, there are too many pop ups within the game that remind the students of all of the extras they only get with a paid membership. Most of my students can't afford this so it makes it hard and annoying after the first few times. I wish there was a way to turn these off when students are linked to a specific teacher's account.

I used Prodigy to motivate my students to finish assignments in a timely manner. If all their work was complete, they could play Prodigy in their spare class time. Students worked hard to finish classroom assignments because they wanted to have time in class to play Prodigy. As they were playing Prodigy I was looking at reports and finding gaps or weaknesses that I needed to address. It was difficult for students to realize that I could not see what level they were on in the game. What I was observing was their accuracy on certain math skills and standards, and I could not see that they were on level 78. However, I used their excitement about being on level 78 to motivate them to do more math problems to achieve higher levels in their game. The gaming side of Prodigy motivated my students to practice math more than any other tools I had used prior to using Prodigy.

It could be more efficient in viewing student data. However, it is an amazing resource.

Kids love it. They can battle each other on Math problems and level-up and are learning in the process. It's an amazing product.

As a teacher, I recommend Prodigy as a teaching tool. I get instant feedback with many different types of reports. I can set each students' individual learning level so they are working on skills that are specific to them. The students love the game play and want to play all the time.

great

I believe this is a great way to get students excited and engaged on various math lessons.

I love using Prodigy in my classroom. It has been a major success. I love that the people at Prodigy listen to feedback of parents and teachers. They are in the works of creating video mini-lessons to use when a student struggles with a skill.

This tool is exciting for my students. They are not reluctant to use it. Sometimes Prodigy does cause my students to be a little more playful than needed.
