My Take

This tool is so motivating for ALL students, including those struggling and those excelling. Students beg to play Prodigy, not even realizing how much math they are completing while doing so. It is great for students and for teachers. It helps students practice and gain understanding, while it shows teachers where students can grown and gain more knowledge.

How I Use It

I use Prodigy in multiple ways. First, it is a math station selection for my students to choose from. On average, half of my students choose it daily to practice. Two, I use it for practice of skills. I will assign a skill and look at the reports to determine how well they are doing on that skill/standard. Third, I have students do it voluntarily for home practice.

This game was unhelpful.

This game is absolutely ridiculous and doesn't teach anything. This game is also pushing REAL LIFE CURRENCY memberships. and the game is completely scrambled. This is a mistake to assign your children/students to this Un educational game.

They won’t stop billing

It is very basic and does have some advantages as a way to get your child / student to do something meaningful that can be tracked while “playing” on a device. However, I would not recommend this company, it has been a nightmare to cancel the membership that has not been used since January 2020. Countless attempts and the 74.95 charge shows up twice a year on my card. It’s absurd I spend time and effort to get cancel and get a refund …then a few months later it’s back on my Amex.

I love using Prodigy Math with my students! It gets them learning while engaging in a fun game where they can interact with their peers.

Using Prodigy Math is so easy! It requires very little effort on my part and provides a fun way to learn and practice math skills for my students.
