Prodigy
Make Math and English fun for kids
Prodigy is a game-based learning platform that makes math and English practice engaging for K-8 students through adaptive, curriculum-aligned games featuring quests, battles, and rewards. Teachers can use it free to supplement lessons and track student progress, while optional parent memberships provide additional features. The platform aims to help students build skills and confidence while genuinely enjoying learning.
Students play an RPG-style game where they must answer curriculum-aligned math and English questions to progress through quests and battles, while teachers and parents monitor progress through dashboards.
