About

About Prodigy Math

Prodigy Math turns math practice into a role-playing game: students create a wizard, explore a fantasy world, and solve curriculum-aligned questions to cast spells and win battles. An adaptive algorithm runs an initial placement test, then adjusts question difficulty up or down based on performance, while teachers and parents track progress through a dashboard. Core math content (grades 1-8) is free; optional memberships add in-game perks.

Capabilities

Key Features

Adaptive question engine.

A placement test estimates each student's grade level, then the algorithm raises or lowers difficulty in real time and pulls learners back to prerequisite skills when they struggle.

Curriculum-aligned content.

Over 1,500 teacher-made skills cover grade 1-8 math mapped to standards like Common Core, so in-game questions match what students learn in class.

Teacher and parent dashboards.

Educators can assign topics, set assessments, and view per-student progress reports, while parents get visibility into what their child is practicing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The core math content for grades 1-8 is free to play for students, teachers, and parents. Optional paid memberships (Core, Plus, and higher tiers, billed monthly or annually per child) add cosmetic and gameplay perks but do not unlock additional math questions.

Math problems are the core mechanic: students must answer questions correctly to progress, and the interface includes video lessons, hint bubbles, text-to-speech, and digital manipulatives. It works best as practice and reinforcement alongside instruction rather than as a standalone curriculum, since the fantasy game layer can distract some students from the math itself.
