Prodigy harnesses the power of game-based learning
“Before Prodigywe wondered why math practice couldn’t be as fun and engaging as a video game. We discovered that it could be by putting Motivation First!
Our innovative approach to game-based learning propelled Prodigy Math to become one of the most popular tools in North American classrooms. Millions of students use Prodigy to practice curriculum-aligned math skills — all while playing a game they love. We’ve also built tools for educators and parents to support their students' learning journeys and motivate them.
We believe access to education is a human right and online learning should be a fun and safe experience. Because when you love what you doyou do it better.”
Alex Peters & Rohan MahimkerCo-Founders & Co-CEOs
Prodigy Math is one of North America's most popular classroom tools. This is what educators have to say:
"What’s interesting is how much it's been used outside of schoolnot just inside the confines of the classroom... It's the students who want to do it. It's a motivating factor that the students love it."
"Often our students aren’t as confident in math. I’m happy that through the use of Prodigy and the support of teachersconfidence is increasing."
"Prodigy translates to a love of math. We’re using it because it’s adaptiveand students are working at their level in their zone of proximal development."
