Prodigy

Prodigy

My daughter began using prodigy last year when she was in second grade. Her teacher gave out a code to the classroom and they could each play in class during preset times and at home. The class was able to see each other in the game, interact and compete for the top spot. In order to play they had to do math problems to cast spells and win battles. They could battle each other or just complete boards /levels in the game to get to the next level.  As a parent I loved prodigy because it made math fun for my daughter and she played almost every day. I’m sure my daughter’s teacher loved prodigy because it helped reinforce math principles she was teaching in the classroom and I’m sure my daughter loved prodigy because she was able to play an online game with her friends that was both fun and competitive. My daughter did however outgrow prodigy this year. While she played she competed against and played with kids she knew and had fun. Prodigy did make math fun for her and she learned a lot from it. Prodigy does have different membership options however there are free options for general use.
